Lot 215
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath VF35. Broadstruck. Five points sharper but there are faint wisps of very fine roughness in the field before the portrait. Otherwise the surfaces are very nice, nearly flawless. Glossy steel brown and chocolate with lighter brown toning in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The rims are wide and squared all the way around both sides giving this piece a distinctly different look characteristic of a broadstruck error. (The rims on Draped Bust half cents are almost always narrow and rounded.) EDS with clear die clashmarks on the obverse and the reverse rotated 15 degrees CCW. Davy #06.1.12.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Doug Bird 10/30/87.
