1879 1C Indian cent--Struck 35% Off Center--MS65 Brown PCGS. Struck off center toward 9 o'clock with all four digits of the date fully visible, along with the entire profile of Liberty. Very sharply struck as are all off center coins, with tinges of orange mint color over lustrous brown surfaces. The fields are very slightly reflective and accented by lovely blue and iridescent toning.

Auction 352 | Lot 8308 » Errors

Undated 1C Type Two Indian cent--Struck 60% Off Center--MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Struck off center toward 7:30. This lovely cent has considerable original orange mint color, exceeding 50% red. This is from the Type Two Indian cent hub used from 1886 through 1909, thus narrowing the possible choice of dates. Further, the reverse has a heavy die crack through the lower outside leaves of the right branch, and into the arrowheads. It is certainly possible that the observant Indian cent collector may be able to match this die crack to some normally struck Indian cent, thus proving the actual date.

1797 Liberty Cap half cent 1/2 C --1 Above 1 variety--Fine 12 PCGS. B-1, C-1. Technically not an error but rather a die variety; however, often collected by error collectors. Late die state with several obverse die cracks. The lower right portion of the reverse is nearly obliterated, due to weak pressure resulting from the sunken portion of the obverse die. The surfaces are very pleasing for the grade.

1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars--Good 6 Uncertified. S-8. Medium brown surfaces with the obverse bisected diagonally by a rough depression in the surface. This may or may not be a lamination defect. PCGS considered this to be environmental damage.

1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars, Struck 5% Off-Center--VF20 PCGS. S-10. Errors on 1793 large cents--Chain, Wreath, or Liberty Cap--are very rare. The surfaces are very slightly granular, however, exhibit splendid dark brown fields and lighter tan devices. A small defect on the unstruck edge at 7 o'clock may or may not have been as made. A similar example was mentioned in the Breen Large Cent Encyclopedia from the Milton Cohen Collection. We do not have immediate access to that catalog to verify a pedigree, although we suspect this is the same coin.

1793 1C Liberty Cap Cent Good 4 Uncertified. S-13. A partial or incomplete 1793 Liberty Cap cent. PCGS described this as a damaged coin, however, others have described it as a straight clip. There is no evidence of weak striking on the opposing side, so we subscribe to the PCGS opinion. Regardless, it has to be worth something as there is always a buyer for every coin. The missing portion extends from 2:30 to 5 o'clock. 191.1 grains.

1794 Liberty Cap cent, 1C Head of 1794 Good 4 PCGS. S-58. The S in STATES is absent, leading our consignor to consider this a dropped letter error; however, we are offering this only as a normal 1794 cent. Sharpness is finer than the grade assigned, with attractive brown surfaces and minor porosity.

1794 Liberty Cap cent 1C --Double Struck, Second Strike 10% Off Center, Clipped Planchet--Head of 1794 VG8 PCGS. S-31. What else could have gone wrong when this coin was struck? Both dates are visible, one slightly left and above the other. The bottom part of the bust and pole are clearly doubled as well. Parts of the reverse are also visibly doubled. A small planchet clip is visible just shy of 6 o'clock. This clip is very minor, although enough to eliminate the edge lettering at this point. The surfaces are dark steel-brown with very minor blemishes, typical for the average quality example at this grade level.

1794 Liberty Cap cent-- 1C --Struck 10% Off Center--Head of 1794 VG10 PCGS. S-31. Struck off-center at 2 o'clock. Intermingled light olive and darker steel-brown. A small dent in the unstruck portion of the reverse may be as made, and is very similar to that in the off-center Wreath cent, above. This may be the coin from the John Ashby Collection mentioned in the Breen Large Cent Encyclopedia.

1795 Liberty Cap cent 1C --Struck 10% Off Center--Plain Edge VG8 PCGS. S-78. Struck off-center at 3 o'clock. Pleasing olive and steel coloration. An unusual pattern of surface markings appear at the upper left obverse, from the back of Liberty's head to the border. We would suggest that the bidder inspect this example carefully to determine the cause of these marks.

Double struck with both strikes centered, and with approximately 45 degrees rotation between the two strikes.

1796 Liberty Cap cent 1C --Flipover Double Struck in Collar--Good 6 PCGS. S-82. The first strike appears to be about 10 to 15% off-center with very wide border dentils from the reverse above and left of Miss Liberty. STATES OF AMER is visible behind her hair and across the cap to her forehead. On the reverse, the entire date is visible at the lower left part of the wreath. The dark chocolate brown surfaces have minor scratches, abrasions, and other roughness. Possibly from the John Ashby Collection.

The two strikes were rotated considerable with the date from the first strike visible at 1 o'clock in relation to the second strike. It appears that at least one strike, if not both, was off-center with dentils from each strike overlapping details from the other strike on both sides. Dark steel-brown surfaces with minor porosity and abrasions.

1797 Draped Bust cent 1C --Double Struck, Second Strike 5% Off Center--Reverse of 1797, Stems VF25 PCGS. S-127. High R.4 for the variety. The first strike was normally centered with the second strike off-center at 11 o'clock, the date from the second strike above and left of the first. Additional doubling is visible on both sides. Dark olive-brown with old granular surfaces and traces of ebony adhering to the obverse. The reverse has two minor scratches, one at the center and the other above the second T of STATES.
Although not plated in that catalog, this is almost certainly Lot 159 from the Anderson Dupont Collection coin, described by Stack's in September 1954 as: "A pretty coin, double struck with the two impressions about 3/16" apart, obverse and reverse. Almost the sharpness of VF, but two old scratches on reverse. A natural olive green. First traces of the rarely seen obverse break. Attractive and rare." Lot 159 realized $55.00 half a century ago.

1798 Draped Bust cent 1C --Flipover Double Strike--First Hair Style Fine 12 PCGS. S-145. This is an impressive double strike with the date visible on both sides. The first strike was slightly off-center as evidenced by the extremely wide border dentils above and left of Liberty. AMERICA crosses the back of Liberty's head, with the letters of LIBERTY overlapping the extended dentils. UNITED STATES OF is mostly visible clockwise from 3 o'clock to almost 9 o'clock. Parts of the wreath are visible on Liberty's head, with the fraction and ribbon ends visible right of Liberty's mouth and nose. Dentils from the obverse of the second strike overlap dentils from the reverse of the first strike. On the reverse, the date from the first strike is visible near STA with a complete profile of Liberty's face visible below ICA. Part of LIBERTY is visible in the border over ICA. Pleasing medium to dark brown surfaces with few blemishes. A small pitmark is visible at the central reverse along with a short, shallow scratch at the second T of STATES. A few other minor surface marks are noted, along with very minor granularity.

(Undated) Large Cent 1C Cent--20% Off Center--Fair 2 PCGS. Struck off-center at 7 o'clock. This is the 1/000 reverse, and judging from the clash marks visible above and below the hair ribbon, we believe this is 1801 S-220. The other possibilities are 1801 S-223 and 1802 S-228. The reverse is rotated, perhaps yielding an additional clue to the attribution. Pleasing olive brown surfaces are bordering on choice quality.
