Lot 261
1804 C-9 R2 VG10. Double Struck Off Center, Reverse Brockage Maker. Mostly glossy light olive and steel with a small splash of reddish chocolate toning at IT in UNITED. Smooth surfaces with nice eye appeal for the grade. The only notable mark is a light rim bruise above the O in OF. Double struck. The first impression was 20% off center to K-6 while the second was centered on the planchet but rotated 30 degrees CCW relative to the first. The throat and neck from the off center strike are clearly evident on the neck and shoulder of the centered (dominant) strike, but there is no trace of doubling on the reverse. Instead, there is very subtle bulging on the reverse which is evidence that this side was pressed into a new blank planchet during the second strike, thereby creating a reverse brockage impression on the new planchet. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. A strong cud break joins RTY to the rim above. Davy #04.9.9.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 7/5/1989.
