Lot 364
1854 C-1 R1+ VF30. End-of-Strip Planchet Clip. Ten points sharper but covered with tiny nicks, none notable but far too many for the sharpness grade. A minor rim bruise over AT in STATES is a good identifying mark. Glossy light chocolate brown with slightly lighter brown toning in protected areas. A straight-edge planchet clip (end of the planchet strip) nearly touches stars 7 & 8 and it reaches just inside the dentil tips at the bottom of the reverse. The dentils across the planchet on the reverse are weak, the so-called Blakesly effect seen on pieces struck inside a collar. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. Davy #54.1.4.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 12/5/88.
