Lot 67
1797 C-1 R2 1 Above 1 Variety AG3+. Triple Struck with One Strike Off Center. Retoned glossy light bluish steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are decent with only minor contact marks, including a scuff of very fine hairline scratches across the date, and no significant corrosion. This piece was struck at least 3 times. Two of the strikes are centered on the planchet and separated by a 45-degree rotation. The bust tip of that undertype impression shows in the field before the chin of the dominate impression, and on the reverse there is a strong AME followed by another strong AME. The off-center strike was 15-20% off center to K-8. Evidence of that impression includes a bust tip under the truncation of the dominate strike and the 79 of the date near the rim below the lowest curl. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. Davy #97.1.10.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
