Lot 226
1807 C-1 R1 F15. Double Struck Off Center. Five points sharper but there is a scratch-like line in the wreath under ENT (which may be an indent from the off center strike) and traces of extremely fine reddish carbon in protected areas at the top of the lower head of Ms Liberty. Frosty chocolate and steel brown. Double struck. One strike (probably the second) was centered on the planchet and the other was 45% off center to K-6. Evidence of the off center strike is strong and abundant on both sides. The date from the centered strike is clear and is positioned on the off center face of Ms Liberty. A wonderful example of this type of mint error. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Davy #07.1.14.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
