Lot 269
1809 C-3 R1 F15. Large Struck-Through Void on Reverse. Choice glossy chocolate brown with smooth, very attractive surfaces. The only mark is a barely visible rim bruise under the 1 in the date. A large depression caused by debris on the die covers most of the area inside the wreath. The smooth texture of the depression suggests the debris was grease or wax, both of which were used at the mint. The obverse is properly struck. LDS, Manley state 2.0. Weight 82.5 grains, which is normal (as opposed to underweight which would support an incomplete planchet argument). This is a great example of a struck-through error. Davy #09.3.15.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
