1803 S-244 R4 Obverse Brockage PCGS graded VF20.
<Our item number 136447><B>1803 S-244 R4 Obverse Brockage. PCGS graded VF-20.</B> Dark olive and steel blending to chocolate brown. The surfaces are imperfect showing light corrosion on the left side of the obverse. No verdigris, but there are several contact marks, including a rim bruise even with the chin, a shallow dig on the neck, and a couple few dull marks on the rim left of the portrait. Struck very slightly off center to K-11, and the reverse was struck against another previously struck cent rather than the reverse die thereby creating a strong incuse brockage impression of the obverse where the reverse should have been. There is no rotation between the normal and the incuse impressions. This obverse was used only in the S-244 marriage, so a definite attribution is possible without a normal reverse. An impressive early mint error in spite of the imperfect surfaces and contact marks. EAC grade VF20 sharpness net VG8. The Brockage error is noted on the PCGS label. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;5,000 - 7,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 136447<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/136447.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/136447N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
