1829 Flip Over Dbl Strike - D.7G R.7 Gd-Fine Damaged
Flip Over Double Strike!An off-center outline of Liberty’s cap and headband are easily seen under the eagle’s left wing. The letters BER are especially prominent. Remnants of an initial reverse strike are a challenge to find on the obverse. I wonder whether the first strike may have been a uniface “test” strike of the obverse die. Struck in white metal with bold edge lettering. Disfigured by the “incision” shown in the photo. Only 8 examples recorded by the Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust Half Collectors Club.
