Lot 127
1803 C-1 R1 VG8. Double Struck with Rotation in Collar. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with reddish chocolate toning inside the wreath. Smooth and virtually flawless. The obverse details are weaker than those on the reverse, perhaps due to the double strike. Both strikes were centered on the planchet and the rotation was rather small. The date reads "18033" and the legends display similar strong doubling that will give you a headache if you stare for too long. This is a really nice example of the "double struck in collar with rotation" type of mint error. M-LDS, Manley state 2.0, with the reverse rotated 15 degrees CCW. Davy #03.1.17.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
Ex Ray D. Munde-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:115.
