Lot 128
1803 C-1 R1 F15. Off Center. Five points sharper but there are too many tiny ticks for the higher grade, none notable or at all distracting. Glossy chocolate and olive brown. Smooth and attractive for the grade in spite of the tiny contact marks. Struck 15% off center to K-9. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The reverse is now rotated 15 degrees CW. In addition, there are two small but clearly present rim cud breaks right of the bust, and these are not mentioned in the Manley book. A very attractive mint error. Davy #03.1.8.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Richard Gross (the "Baltimore Collection") via Ron Guth 3/20/83.
