1847 N-10 R3 VF25+.
1847 N-10 R3 VF25+. Off Center. Glossy medium brown and chocolate. A faint hairline scratch connects the bases of stars 7 & 8 and a very light rim bruise shows at the top of the obverse. Otherwise this piece is very attractive, close to VF30. MDS, die state a. Struck 20% off center to K-6 leaving all but the very top of the date off the planchet. The unstruck portion of the planchet at the bottom of the reverse shows what appears to be a shallow but large cud break. Of course this can't be a real cud since that area was never struck with a die, but it could have been a flaw in the strip roller. An interesting phenomenon in addition to the off-center strike. DWH #2258.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
