Lot 311
1800 S-202 R4+ G4. Double Struck. Very slightly sharper but there is a large "X" with an additional crossbar lightly scratched into the center of the portrait and a strong rim dent just left of the fraction. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive, choice for the grade. Terminal die state, Breen state VII. The die cracks on the obverse are massive and the reverse is very heavily swollen. This cent was double struck. The first strike was slightly off center (about a millimeter) to K-6 and the second impression was slightly off center to K-1.5 leaving a separation between the strikes of at least a millimeter. Evidence of the initial strike shows on both sides, strongest under the big die break left of the lowest curl and above ON in ONE where another ON is located. A neat mint error on a great die state.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
