Lot 340
1807 C-1 R1 Fair-2. Double Struck. Very slightly sharper but covered with light corrosion. No marks or verdigris. The date is weak but readable and most of the legend can be made out with a bit of effort. Slightly glossy dark olive with light olive toning covering the devices. The two-tone appearance accents the designs and aids the eye appeal (which is not great anyway). This piece was double struck. We know this because there is part of a wreath under CENT where the ribbon bow should be. There is no visible evidence of doubling on the obverse, but the heavy wear and surface condition can hide a lot of stuff and I suspect there was doubling on that side as well. Davy #07.1.27.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
