Lot 322
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath VG8. Double Struck Reverse. A couple points sharper but there are far too many light contact marks for the sharpness grade, especially on the obverse. No corrosion or verdigris. Mostly glossy chocolate and steel brown. The reverse was double struck but the offset between strikes is very small, less than a half millimeter. The doubling is clear on the wreath and HALF CENT, but the small offset makes it difficult to differentiate between a "chatter strike" or "double strike." And there is no hint of doubling on the obverse and no swelling that would suggest that side may have been a brockage maker. Davy #06.1.23.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
