Lot 252
1808 C-3 R1 F15. Clipped Planchet. Sharpness VF35 but covered with uniform fine to moderate granularity under a rather glossy patina of dark chocolate and steel. No marks or verdigris. There is a relatively large curved planchet clip at RTY that touches the tops of the T & Y, and this clip affects the dentils above OF on the reverse. The dentils directly across from the clip are weak, the so-called Blakesly effect that helps authenticate planchet clips as mint-caused errors. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0, with the reverse rotated 110 degrees CW. Davy #08.3.38.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 3/9/95.
