Lot 241
1808 C-3 R1 G5. Double Struck in Collar with Rotation. Glossy chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive for the grade, only a few trivial marks in the field left of the portrait. Double struck in the collar but rotated 30 degrees between the strikes. There is ample undertype from the first impression on the obverse, including "80" on the bust tip, and the face of Ms Liberty faces oddly upward. The most obvious evidence of doubling on the reverse is an extra wreath ribbon left of the "normal" one. LDS with relatively weak design details caused by the double strike, especially on the reverse. Davy #08.3.16.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex McLaughlin & Robinson Auctions #4053, 2/16/85:38.
