Lot 98
1800 C-1 R2 G5. Struck over Off Center Large Cent. A couple points sharper with a dull scratch from the eye to the rim at right and a dozen small pinpricks on the reverse, especially below CENT, plus a few other small contact marks. Glossy chocolate brown. The date and legends are clear. Struck on a cut-down spoiled large cent showing TED from UNITED of the large cent in the field over the bust, the undertype clearly visible to the unaided eye. No undertype is visible on the reverse, which suggests the cent was spoiled at least in part due to an error in striking the reverse. LDS, Manley state 5.0. Weight 76.6 grains. Davy #00.1.3.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex William K. Raymond 5/22/75.
