Lot 366
1857 C-1 R2 EF45. Clipped Planchet. Glossy light olive and chocolate brown with traces of faded red in protected areas, possibly from an old cleaning. A dull nick on the neck and a shallow depression in the field under the bun are the good identifying marks. A curved planchet clip flattened the dentils at stars 2-3 and at ED-S. The dentils across from the clip are softly struck, the so-called Blakesly effect found on pieces struck with an incomplete planchet. In addition, there is fine doubling on portions of the legend outside the wreath, a result of die bounce (chatter strike). E-MDS. Davy #57.1.4.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
From an unrecorded source in 1995.
