Lot 469
1835 N-13 R4 Double Struck VG7. Glossy olive brown and steel mixed with lighter chocolate brown. No roughness or notable marks. Double struck with a rotation of 5-10 degrees between the two impressions. The reverse was struck against the die both times and evidence of the first strike is clearly visible at STATES OF AMERICA. The obverse was struck against the die on the first strike and against a blank planchet positioned about 10% off center to K-7.5 on the second strike, thereby creating an off-center obverse brockage on the new planchet. Another obvious mint error, one that is easy to "noodle through" to figure out what happened at the mint.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Superior 2/16/1976:382-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included).
