Lot 377
1809 C-3 R1 VG10. Chatter Struck Obverse. Sharper by at least 5 points but there is a small splash of fine corrosion mixed with verdigris under the 18 in the date. The remainder of this piece is smooth and attractive with only a few minor contact marks. Glossy chocolate brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Frosty flowline luster peeks through in the protected areas on both sides. Sharp, clear doubling from die bounce shows on the date, portrait, and stars 1-4, and the shift is toward the top. There is no trace of doubling on the reverse. Davy #09.3.17.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 1/5/1993.
