Lot 230
1807 C-1 R1 G5. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Several points sharper but the planchet is slightly bent and there are several dull contact marks in the field before the face and at the rim left of the hair ribbon, plus a faint scuff in the hair at the back of the head. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive. Glossy chocolate brown with a swipe of lighter brown on both sides. Boldly double struck over a 10% off center obverse brockage. Two dates separated by a 45 degree rotation are visible on the obverse, and Ms Liberty is two-faced. The reverse is struck over the slightly off center obverse brockage with most of the incuse and retrograde LIBERTY showing at the bottom and the drapery folds at the top. The incuse brockage impression does not line up perfectly with either of the normal obverse impressions. Brockage impressions often do not line up with their opposing normal impressions when one of the two planchets (one that has been struck and the new blank) is only part way into the press or both planchets are off center in different directions or to a different degree. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Davy #07.1.11.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
