1808/7 C-2 R3 Overdate 8 over 7 VG10. A couple points sharper with a few dozen dull pinprick marks on the obverse, mostly on the portrait and hidden in the hair. Otherwise this piece is choice and the eye appeal is excellent. Glossy medium chocolate fading to olive brown in protected areas. The devices are a lighter shade of steel brown. MDS, Manley state 3.0 late. There is a cud break connecting TY to the rim and a rather strong crack through the tops of BERTY with an extension up to the dentils from the top of the B. The date and legends are strong and the overdate is clear.
Estimated Value $200-UP.

1808 C-3 R1 PCGS graded VF35. Chatter Strike Obverse. Frosty olive brown and steel with smooth, very attractive surfaces. Flowline luster shows in the fields and protected areas on both sides. No roughness or verdigris, and the only marks are a few trivial ticks at the top of the wreath. LDS, Manley state 5.0. The die cracks through the I in UNITED and in the wreath left of C in CENT are clear. In addition a sharp but narrow double profile shows from the tip of the nose down to the bottom of the neck with stronger doubling visible on the hair ribbons. The doubling may be from a second strike or, more likely, from die bounce (chatter strike). There is no trace of doubling on the reverse. The strike was very slightly off center to K-6 but all the devices remain on the planchet. Our grade is VF25 choice. Comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
