Lot 278
1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over 6 VF25. Double Struck Off Center. Glossy chocolate brown with darker steel toning on the high points. No roughness and only a few minor marks, including a dull nick left of star 10. Dramatically double struck. One impression was centered and the other was 40% off center to the top and rotated 30 degrees relative to the centered strike. Strong evidence of the off center strike shows on both sides. A bold, very impressive example of this type of mint error. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The overdate feature is visible but not strong thanks to some dirt caked around the 9. Removed from an NGC slab graded VF30, and the double struck feature is noted on the label. Davy #09.5.21.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
