Lot 196
1805 C-1 R2- Stemless Wreath F15+. Double Struck with Rotation/Reverse Brockage Maker. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown with smooth surfaces. The only marks are two thin rim nicks over the E in LIBERTY. Close to VF20. Double struck and rotated 90 degrees between impressions. Bold doubling shows on the obverse where an additional face of Ms Liberty is looking straight up at BER. A mesmerizing error. The reverse is not doubled. That side was struck into a new blank planchet creating a reverse brockage, and the usual swelling that results from being pressed into the second planchet is evident. Davy #05.1.5.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Bill Weber 11/11/80.
