Lot 200
1805 C-1 R2- Stemless Wreath VF20. Double Struck/Off Center Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with traces of lighter brown toning in some of the protected areas. Five points sharper but there are two rim nicks under the 05 in the date and a light rim bruise at D-S. Otherwise the surfaces and eye appeal are excellent. The obverse was double struck very slightly off center to K-1.5 with a small offset between impressions, about the width of a dentil or less. The doubling is clear on the date and along the back profile of Ms Liberty. The reverse has no doubling. Instead it was struck into a new blank planchet that was positioned about 55% off center (creating an off center reverse brockage). An impression from the off center planchet arcs through the upper right part of the reverse. Davy #05.1.12.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 4/27/91.
