Lot 253
1808 C-3 R1 VG10. Clipped Planchet. Sharpness near VF20 but covered with moderate granularity on all but the high points, which are relatively smooth. No verdigris, and the only marks are a rim nick over the B in LIBERTY and a rim scuff opposite the neck. Chocolate brown on the devices and slightly darker steel brown everywhere else. There is a curved planchet clip that affects the dentils behind the portrait and the opposing ones over MER in AMERICA. The dentils across from the clip display a tiny bit of weakness (the Blakesly effect), but the dentils are mostly gone anyway due to the die state. MDS with the reverse rotated 170 degrees CCW, nearly upset head-to-head. Davy #08.3.33.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 4/16/99.
