1828 C-1 R1 AU55.
1828 C-1 R1 AU55. Double or Triple Struck over Tab Obverse Brockage. Lustrous light chocolate and steel brown. Very little if any friction on the high points, but there are a few marks. These include some tiny ticks above the 28 in the date and a short scratch right of star 3. Double or triple struck. One strike was a 95% off center obverse brockage at stars 6 & 7 that left behind a strong arc of dentils. Another strike (perhaps occurring simultaneous with the off center brockage) was only slightly off center and left behind the 1828 date at UN and the tip of the wreath ribbon. This extra date is directly opposite the off center brockage at stars 6 & 7, so they are related somehow. The tab created by the off center strike was gently tapped down to return the planchet to its intended circular shape. A really interesting mint error, and having two dates (one on each side) is a big plus. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #28.1.4.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
