Lot 235
1807 C-1 R1 VG8. Misaligned Dies. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse where the details suggest a VF grade, but there are faint hairline scratches covering the obverse plus a couple obvious digs at the shoulder and left of the date. The reverse is very nice, essentially flawless. Glossy dark olive brown and steel with reddish chocolate in protected areas on the reverse. The obverse high points are a lighter shade of chocolate and steel. Struck with the obverse die misaligned to K-9 while the reverse is centered on the planchet. Curiously the L in LIBERTY was not struck up at all and is missing while everything else is normal. This i smost likely the result of the die misalignment. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The reverse is not rotated, which is unusual for this variety. Davy #07.1.20.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
