Lot 581
1843-1857 Undated Mature Head VF25. Reverse Brockage. Glossy medium brown with dark chocolate toning in protected areas. A dull nick on the right top of the E in CENT and another in the wreath left of the O in ONE are the only marks. The surfaces are smooth and attractive. The brockage side is very slightly off center but there is virtually no rotation shift between the normal and incuse impressions. A bold example of this type of mint error. Removed from an NGC slab graded VF30. An extremely rare mint error, and the brockage error is noted on the NGC label, which is included. DWH #2528.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
