Lot 149
1804 C-9 R2 F15. Double Struck Off Center. Choice glossy chocolate brown. Smooth and very attractive, virtually flawless. Boldly double struck. One strike is centered and the other is 40% off center to K-10. Bold evidence of the off center strike shows on both sides, including ERTY arcing down into the head and RICA up from the numerator. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0, with a strong cud break connecting RTY to the rim above (once in the usual place and again on the head thanks to the off center impression). The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW. A choice example of a dramatic mint error. Davy #04.9.3.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Dr. Charles L. Ruby, Superior 2/11/74:233 (where plated)-William K. Raymond.
