Lot 68
1797 C-1 R2 1 Above 1 Variety VF30. Double Struck on a 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with NEW YORK. Nice glossy olive and chocolate brown. Virtually flawless, just lightly worn. Ample evidence of the TAL Cent undertype is visible on both sides, including "NEW" at the top of the cap. This piece was double struck with both impressions centered on the planchet but rotated 30 degrees between the impressions. The result is dramatic, especially on the obverse where the date reads "17971797" and LIBERTY has become "LIBELIBERTY". M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. Weight 90.7 grains. Davy #97.1.18.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
