Lot 249
1808 C-3 R1 G6. Off Center. Sharpness VF20 but lightly corroded. Dull dark steel brown and olive with patches of reddish brown on both sides, mostly on the reverse. You can find a few tiny specks of verdigris with a good glass. The only contact mark is a barely visible rim bruise over the L in LIBERTY. Struck 15% off center to K-7 leaving the lower third of the date off the planchet. MDS with no reverse die rotation. Not the most attractive half cent, but the off center error is obvious. Davy #08.3.9.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
