Lot 161
1804 C-10 R1 VF25. Chatter Strike Reverse. Sharpness near EF45 but there is some faint graffiti in the field before the portrait. Otherwise the surfaces are attractive and void of notable defects. Frosty chocolate and steel brown with a small splash of darker chocolate toning high on the neck. Struck slightly off center to K-12, and the reverse is double struck with an offset of about a half millimeter between the impressions. The doubling is sharp and clear with a separation greater than normally seen on a simple chatter strike (die bounce). The obverse displays no trace of doubling, so there is a chance it was struck against a new blank planchet during the second strike (creating an obverse brockage). LDS, Manley 3.0. Davy #04.10.6.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Bowers & Ruddy 2/77:13.
