Lot 246
1808 C-3 R1 G6. Double Struck Off Center over Off Center Reverse Brockage. Sharpness F12 but lightly corroded. No verdigris, but there are some light rim bruises on both sides, none notable. Dark chocolate and olive brown, closer to matte than glossy. Double struck, and neither strike was centered on the planchet. The reverse was struck two times by the reverse die, and the strikes are separated by a millimeter or two and rotated about 10 degrees. The doubling is most obvious inside the wreath where HALF and CENT are clearly bent. The obverse was struck two times as well, but one of the strikes is a 50% off center reverse brockage. Nothing went right for this half cent. Davy #08.3.31.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
