Lot 343
1807 C-1 R1 G5. Planchet Rims Partially Upset. Glossy steel and chocolate with darker steel toning on the obverse highpoints. There is a spot of very light corrosion on the eye and a few light contact marks scattered over both sides, none notable. The date is clear and the legends are readable although portions are weak. LDS, Manley state 3.0. This piece was struck on a planchet with the rims upset only part of the way around the planchet (similar to the 1806 C-1 earlier in this sale). The rims were not upset from K-9 to K-11 and across the planchet from K-4 to K-6, but they were upset on the remainder of the planchet. As a result the strike near the rims in those places is weaker than normal and mushes outward. The effect is not as clear on this piece as it is on the earlier 1806 C-1 due to the vastly different grade of the coins, but the errors are similar. Davy #07.1.24.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 10/27/1992.
