1828 C-2 R1 12-Star Obverse Counterstamped VF20
1828 C-2 R1 12-Star Obverse Counterstamped VF20. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Struck 20% off center to K-1. Counterstamped on both sides with a Unicorn with a large "CT" below. The stamp on the obverse is stronger and better balanced than the one on the reverse. This stamp has been attributed to a merchant in the US who sold Unicorn brand cigars. Listed by Brunk as T-17 (old Brunk #6460). A great mint error, and counterstamps are very seldom found on pieces exhibiting obvious mint errors such as this. Davy #28.2.6.
Estimated Value $250-UP.

Provenance: Ex Natalie Halpern 4/27/1983.
