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.
