Lot 515
1834 N-4 R2 Large 8 & Small Stars VG10. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Slightly sharper with a small but deep dig in the field before the mouth and a dull dent over the E in CENT. Glossy light to medium brown. Smooth surfaces, free of corrosion or verdigris. Double struck. The first impression was properly centered but the second was 25% off center to K-11. The off center strike was against the die on the reverse but against a blank planchet on the obverse side creating an off-center brockage impression on the other planchet. The obverse details were blunted where it was pressed against the blank planchet, but the reverse details are strong. Another neat mint error, this one showing three different types of error (double strike, off center, and brockage maker). DWH #3315.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
