1827 N-6 R3 Double Struck G6. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. A dig on the right side of star 5 is the only significant defect. Double struck. The first strike was an off-center obverse brockage. On the initial impression the obverse was struck with the die about 15% off center to K-5 while the reverse was struck against the obverse of a previously struck cent leaving an incuse impression of the obverse about 30% off center to K-2. The cent was then reinserted into the coining chamber and struck normally. The bust of the first strike is visible at the date and TY from LIBERTY shows under the hair bun. Ample incuse details from the brockage impression show on the lower half of the reverse, including several stars and a long arc of incuse dentils.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
