Lot 227
1807 C-1 R1 VG7. Double Struck Off Center. Slightly sharper but covered with very fine granularity, strongest on the reverse. No verdigris, and the only mark is a strong nick under TA in STATES. Double struck way off center. The first strike was centered on the planchet, but it failed to eject completely and was struck another time 90% off center. RTY from the second strike is clearly visible left of the curls, and the denominator is strongly impressed at D-STA. The sequence of these strikes is questionable, and there is a chance the off center impression came first. What's certain is that this is a dramatic error in spite of the relatively low grade. Davy #07.1.33B.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
