Lot 78
1797 C-2 R3 G4. Double Struck Well Off Center. Several points sharper but the surfaces are uneven with small patches of shallow corrosion on both sides. No verdigris or notable contact marks. Rather glossy chocolate brown with darker steel and olive toning in protected areas. Double struck. One impression was about 45% off center to K-7 and the other was centered on the planchet. LIBE from the off-center strike shows at the bottom of the cap and UN is clearly visible at the upper left of the reverse. Ample additional evidence of the off-center strike is visible on both sides. The date from the main (centered) strike remains easily readable. Weight 87.1 grains. Davy #97.2.25.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Superior 6/2/97:9.
