Extremely Rare 1796 S-91 Cent Error, VG10
Flip-Over Triple Strike

1796 1C Liberty Cap--Triple Struck, Flip Over and Off Center--VG10 NGC. S-91, B-1, R.3. The careful observer will note that the digits 96 are visible three times, quickly confirming its status as a triple strike. Beginning with the most prominent strike, the full date is visible in its proper location at 6 o'clock on the obverse. Flipping the coin over (using standard coin turn), the other appearances of the digits 96 are at 9 o'clock inside the border, and at about 10:30 within the upper wreath branch. Of course, considerable additional detail is visible from all three strikes.
Although the surfaces are microscopically rough, this piece has pleasing medium brown color with considerable detail. In fact, the sharpness is that of a Very Fine coin, and NGC obviously used a net-grading process to arrive at VG10. The two flip-over triple strike 1796 Liberty Cap cents in the present sale are possibly the only two known of that error class. Double strike and triple strike coins can be found from time to time, as can flip-over double strike coins. However, flip-over triple strike coins are extremely rare. MRB VG10.(Registry values: N491) (#1392)

We changed the way we image slabbed coins on February 1, 2010, in order to get a more accurate image of the coin. To get the sharper details and more accurate colors we have focused the lighting on the actual coin, which has caused the top of the holders to appear darker and milky. Please disregard the color of the holders when examining the images.
