1801 S-213 R2 Double Struck VG7. Glossy steel brown with darker chocolate brown toning in the fields and protected areas. No roughness or notable marks. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was against the reverse die positioned about 75% off center to K-4.5 leaving a bold impression where MERICA used to be. The opposing area on the obverse was struck against a new blank planchet creating an off-center obverse brockage impression on that planchet. Another impressive mint error that does not require a glass to enjoy.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
