Lot 110
1800 C-1 R2 G5. Flipover Double Strike. Sharpness VF20 but covered with moderate granularity. No verdigris or notable marks. Matte dark bluish steel brown and olive. Double struck. Both strikes were properly centered on the planchet, which was flipped over between impressions. The fraction and parts of the wreath show clearly on the bust tip of the principal strike, and the upper half of the portrait and all of LIBERTY are clearly visible on the upper right part of the reverse. A terrific mint error in spite of the poor surface quality. Weight 82.6 grains. Davy #00.1.10.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Jack Borckardt 8/10/82.
