Lot 341
1834 N-6 R3 Large Date, Stars, & Letters F12. Slightly Off Center with Bold Double Profile. Sharpness EF40 but porous, especially on the reverse. No verdigris, and the only significant mark is a dull dig at ME in AMERICA. Dark steel brown. The obverse is rather glossy but the reverse is mostly matte. EDS. There is bold double profile on the forehead, lips, and chin with an offset of a full millimeter. Struck slightly off center to K-7.5. The die faces must have been out of proper parallel alignment (the die faces not perfectly parallel) causing a weak strike near the rim on the right sides while the remainder of the strike is normal. A cent with an odd look.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Michael Arconti, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 7/23/2003:120.
