1831 N-7 R1 Large Letters Reverse, Double Struck G4. A couple points sharper but there is a rough pinch on the rim at the bottom of the obverse and a smaller rim dent at the top of the obverse. Otherwise very nice for the grade. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. Then the struck cent failed to eject from the press and a new blank planchet was inserted. The obverse of this cent was struck against the blank planchet creating an obverse brockage on that planchet and leaving this obverse rather wavy. Coincidently the reverse was struck a second time against the reverse die but rotated so there is a 5-10 degree rotation between the two impressions. Clear evidence of the two strikes shows outside the wreath, strongest at STATES OF AMERICA. A neat mint error in spite of the rather low grade. Estimated Value $300-UP
