Lot 247
1808 C-3 R1 VG8. Slightly Off Center Obverse Brockage. Glossy dark chocolate and olive brown, most likely cleaned and nicely retoned. Smooth and attractive for the grade with only trivial contact marks, including a dull rim nick at the L in LIBERTY. This piece is an obverse brockage that was struck 10% off center to K-7. The normal and incuse impressions are almost directly opposite each other. The date is easily readable on both sides even though the bottom edge of all four (eight?) digits are off the planchet. This piece is plated on page 484 in the Breen encyclopedia to illustrate an obverse brockage. MDS. Davy #08.3.4.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex F. R. Alvord, S. H. Chapman 6/9/24:136-Fred Weinberg (Numismatics, Ltd.) 6/10/74.
