1814/3 - O.101a R.2 PCGS AU 55
The PCGS label identifies the Overton variety, adding, “Mint Error … Reverse Planchet Flaw.” The surfaces are painted with a shroud of deep gold toning, lighter through the stars and legend. The obverse strike is unusually strong. The reverse as well, though not without slight weakness in the left wing. Roughness through the junction of the eagle’s torso and left wing extends to the beak. As noted by PCGS, it is not to be confused with environmental damage; it is simply the product of a poorly prepared planchet. From the Cape Cod Collection. Est. $1,500 to $2,500.
