Lot 280
1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over 6 VG8. Double Struck Off Center. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown. Possibly retoned but the eye appeal is excellent. The surfaces are smooth and void of any notable marks. Double struck. One strike is centered on the planchet and the other is 60% off center to K-6. The strongest evidence of the off center impression is an extra face under the bust tip and "CENT" at the top of the reverse, but there is lots more. A bold, very attractive example of an off center strike. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Evidence of the 9 over 6 overdate is hidden under the "Y" of LIBERTY from the off center strike. Davy #09.5.8.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
