Lot 198
1805 C-1 R2- Stemless Wreath VG8+. Double Struck Off Center with Rotation/Reverse Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive, close to VG10. Double struck, and one of the impressions was 15% off center to K-9. A strong countenance of Ms Liberty faces up looking at TY in LIBERTY while the "normal" one looks to the right rim. The reverse is not doubled but was struck against a blank planchet creating a reverse brockage. The usual swelling that results from being pressed into the blank planchet is obvious. Davy #05.1.10.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
