Lot 250
1808 C-3 R1 F15+. Misaligned Dies. Close to VF20 with excellent eye appeal, but there are just a few too many light contact marks for the higher grade. The only notable marks are a couple very light but relatively fresh ones left of the L in LIBERTY. Choice glossy chocolate brown. Struck with the obverse die misaligned to K-12. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The reverse die is rotated 70 degrees CCW from the normal head-to-foot orientation. Davy #08.3.17.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Abe Kosoff estate, Bowers & Merena 11/4/85:4151.
