1838 N-3 R1 PCGS graded G6.
1838 N-3 R1 PCGS graded G6. Off Center Brockage Indent. Glossy medium brown. Smooth surfaces, and the only marks are some faint pinscratches in the indented area. MDS with the reverse center dot easily visible. Struck with a large, deep off-center reverse brockage error covering the upper half of the obverse. The indent is a heavily distorted impression of the upper reverse with TES O and a few of the upper leaves visible, although they are spread out and appear much larger than normal suggesting a capped-die strike. A really dramatic mint error, the only one of this type seen by your cataloger. Our grade is VG7.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
