Lot 206
1805 C-4 R2- Large 5 VF30. Tab Double Strike against a Blank Planchet. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with traces of slightly lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. The sharpness is very close to VF35 but there are a few too many tiny contact marks than you like to see on the higher grade. This piece was struck normally but failed to eject completely and subsequently was struck against a new blank planchet that just nipped the edge off the bust tip. A neat and obviously very rare type of mint error. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The die crack through the bust tip is clear. Davy #05.4.8.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 8/14/91.
