Lot 505
1831 N-6 R1 Large Letters Reverse VG7. Tab Obverse Brockage. A couple points sharper with minor roughness at the lowest curl and a dull dent on the bottom of N in CENT. Otherwise a decent glossy chocolate brown with relatively smooth, clean surfaces. This is a tab brockage strike with an incuse obverse impression about 80% off center on the upper left of the reverse, the brockage obliterating D-STAT. There is no trace of doubling or undertype on the obverse. It appears the sequence of events was the off center brockage impression followed by a properly centered strike that did not affect the brockage impression since it was so deep. The resulting tab is rather large. A neat mint error. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CW. DWH #0759.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
