SB1123-72205r.jpg

This specimen was lot 72205 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, November 2023), where it sold for $9,600. The catalog description[1] noted, "Very Rare Jalisco 10 Centavos with Unique Mint Error, MEXICO. Jalisco. Guadalajara. 10 Centavos, 1915. PCGS AU-58. A VERY RARE Revolutionary issue exhibiting a fascinating error. The planchet appears to have received an off-center strike which was then corrected with a flip-over double strike. The resulting piece displays on each side traces of the opposing side, offset due to the faulty initial strike. Apart from this one-of-a-kind error, the coin is entirely wholesome. Its surfaces are truly near-Mint and deliver impressive clarity along with rich chocolate-brown patina. Given its great scarcity and unique attributes, this coin presents a rare opportunity that advanced collectors should not pass up."

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: copper.

Catalog reference: KM-678; GB-243.
