Lot 333
1806 C-4 R1 Large 6 with Stems G5. Clipped Planchet. Very slightly sharper but there is an old horizontal scratch under TES in STATES, a couple more through the fraction, and traces of minor roughness inside the wreath. No verdigris. Mostly glossy chocolate and steel brown, the devices a couple shades lighter than the protected areas. A curved planchet clip touches the top of the T in LIBERTY and affects the dentils right of the fraction. The dentils across from the clip are weak on the obverse, the so-called Blakesly effect that comes with most mint clips. Struck with the reverse rotated about 10-15 degrees CW relative to a normal head-to-foot die orientation. The date is strong and the legends are complete except for weakness at OF. Davy #06.4.13.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 10/31/2000.
