Lot 259
1809 C-3 R1 VG8+. Tab Double Strike. Glossy olive brown with slightly lighter chocolate toning covering the devices. The surfaces are smooth but there are a few marks, including several rim nicks at AMERICA. Close to VG10. Double struck. One strike was centered and the other was 90% off center leaving a tab at stars 1-3. The obverse tab was created by the die but the reverse of the tab was struck against a blank planchet. The obverse tab shows a strong arc of dentils and the tip of one star. An impressive error. Davy #09.3.20.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Source unrecorded 1993-1996.
