Lot 323
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath G5. Double Struck Reverse. Sharpness VG10, especially on the obverse, but cleaned and retoned glossy dark bluish steel and olive brown. There are fine pinscratches on both sides, strongest at ERTY, plus an obvious nick in the field behind the head. The reverse was double struck with clear doubling visible on the wreath and HALF CENT. The offset is largest at the bottom of the wreath thanks to a minor rotation, and the denominator, although quite faint, reads 2200 rather than 200. The obverse shows no doubling at all, very similar to the preceding lot, and that side may have been struck against a new blank planchet creating an incuse brockage impression. However, there is no swelling on the obverse to help support that position. Davy #06.1.6.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
