Lot 77
1797 C-2 R3 F15+. Double Struck on Center with Minor Rotation. Close to VF20 but there is a small spot of very fine roughness at the tip of the lowest curl. Otherwise the planchet is smooth and attractive and the only mark is a small rim nick just right of the fraction. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown. Nicely struck and well balanced. Double struck. Both strikes were centered on the planchet and the second was rotated slightly CCW relative to the first. The result is fine but clear doubling on nearly everything leaving two poles at the bust, two mouths, two eyes, and sharp doubling on all 4 digits of the date. Weight 82.4 grains. Davy #97.2.23.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
