Lot 208
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath EF45. Double Struck with Rotation/Reverse Brockage Maker. Frosty chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning covering the protected areas. Traces of satiny mint luster remain on both sides. Great eye appeal, only a few trivial contact marks from flawless. Double struck with a 45 degree CCW rotation between impressions. There are two full dates, the main (strong) one and another weaker but complete date to the left ending at the lowest curl. LIBERTY reads LIBERTBERTY and a phantom image of Ms Liberty appears to be looking down her own cleavage. There is no doubling on the reverse, which is heavily swollen from being pressed into a new blank planchet creating a reverse brockage. A dramatic mint error in a beautiful grade. Davy #06.1.8.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
