Lot 147
1807 C-1 R1 VF30. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. Close to VF35 but there are two parallel nicks on the bust just below the neck and a pair of shallow planchet flakes in the field off the upper end of the hair ribbon. EDS, Manley state 1.0, with dentils all the way around the obverse and sharp repunching visible on the 7. This piece was double struck. The first strike was slightly off center. The planchet was then flipped over and restruck properly. The neck of Ms Liberty is clearly visible on the wreath bow and the lower part of all 4 digits of the date show on the rim at UNI. A curved depression inside the top of the wreath is from the back of the head leading into the hair ribbon. While there are obvious remnants of the off-center obverse showing on the reverse, there is no trace of an undertype on the obverse. A neat mint error that offers excellent eye appeal.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Bill Eckberg Collection.
