1828 C-1 R1 VG8. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Obverse Brockage Maker. Sharpness VF20 with numerous contact marks scattered over the obverse, including a dull nick right of the mouth and a shallow depression in the field off the tip of the nose. No corrosion or verdigris. Glossy medium brown with chocolate and steel toning on the high points. Double struck. One strike (probably the second) was centered on the planchet and another (probably the first) was 25% off center and rotated 30 degrees. Strong evidence of the two strikes shows on the reverse, including CENT in the wreath under UNI into the ribbon. The obverse was struck against a new blank planchet during the off center strike creating a brockage impression. An impressed arc from the blank planchet shows from the bust tip through the lowest curl and stars 8 & 9 to the rim above. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Davy #28.1.10.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
