Lot 203
1805 C-1 R2- Stemless Wreath VG7. Off Center. Sharpness VG10 or slightly better but covered with tiny contact marks. No corrosion or verdigris, and the toning is an attractive glossy light chocolate brown. Struck 10% off center to K-12 leaving the upper part of LIBERTY and lower part of the denominator off the planchet. Based on the error populations we can observe in the Davy Collection, a single strike off center is a much rarer type of mint error than a double strike for half cents. Davy #05.1.8.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
