1810 L1C S-285 R2 VG8+. Obverse Brockage.
Glossy chocolate and steel brown with traces of lighter brown toning in protected areas of the obverse. No roughness or verdigris, only light nicks scattered about both sides. None of these marks is significant, but there are a few more of them than you might except for the grade. The only notable mark is a small planchet chip in the field off the mouth on the incuse brockage side, as struck. This is an obverse brockage strike (the "reverse" was struck against the obverse of a previously struck cent that didn't leave the press rather than against the reverse die as planned). The incuse brockage impression is not as strong as the normally struck side, and most of the incuse date is weak, only the 0 clearly visible. The portrait and most of the stars, however, are clear. EDS. Removed from an NGC slab graded VG10. The brockage error is noted on the NGC label, which is included.
