Lot 238
1808/7 C-2 R3 Overdate 8 over 7 VG7. Struck over Folded Planchet Lamination. Glossy chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive with only a few minor marks. The notable ones are a couple nicks at the C in CENT. Struck over a folded-back planchet lamination near the rim before the eye. The lamination now appears as a flattened burr in the field pointing to the eyebrow. An extremely rare type of mint error that creates a look that could be confused with undertype. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Nicely struck everywhere except for OF, which was not struck up at all. The overdate is obvious. Davy #08.2.15.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
