Lot 214
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath VG8. Reverse Brockage, Rotated and Slightly Off Center. Glossy olive brown with lighter chocolate and steel toning on the high points. No corrosion or verdigris, and the only mark is a thin vertical planchet fissure on the right side of the fraction on the normal side. This is a reverse brockage that was struck 5% off center to K-7. The incuse side is similarly off center in the same direction but is rotated about 30 degrees relative to the normal side. Although we are listing this brockage as coming from the 1806 C-1 marriage, it may have been struck during any of the other die marriages that employed the Stemless Wreath reverse (1804 C-12, 1804 C-13, and 1805 C-1). Davy #06.1.15.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Richard Picker collection (Mrs. Picker) via Stack's 2/15/89.
