Lot 325
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath F12. Fake Planchet Clip. Sharpness EF40 and quite nice for that grade except for a fake planchet clip at IBE. The arc of this "clip" is too small to have come from a half cent planchet cutter, and the rim inside the clip shows some tool marks. Also working against this being a genuine clip is the absence of the Blakesly effect (weakly struck dentils across from the clip). Glossy chocolate and olive brown with underlying frosty flowline luster covering the fields and protected areas. Davy #06.1.17.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
