Lot 209
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath VG8. Double Struck with Rotation. Slightly sharper with a few dull contact marks on the rim, the most obvious of these over TE in UNITED. Rather glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. Double struck in the collar with a small rotation between impressions, about 5-10 degrees. The doubling is strongest the farther you look away from the centers thanks to the center pivot, but it is obvious everywhere. The date looks like 188006 with all the digits jammed together. The legends offer a similar challenge to a reader. A modest mint error with real character. Davy #06.1.14.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex J. J. Teaparty 3/24/82-Jack Robinson, Superior 1/29/89:1958.
