1827 N-5 R2 Double Struck G6. A point or two sharper but there are traces of minor roughness on both sides plus a few light scratches on the portrait. Slightly glossy medium brown with reddish chocolate and olive brown toning in some of the protected areas. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was 65% off center to K-12 on the obverse, K-6 on the reverse. The reverse was struck against the die on the second strike while the obverse was struck against a blank planchet creating an off-center brockage on the second planchet. Clear evidence of the off-center impression shows on the lower third of the reverse. Another obvious mint error.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
