Lot 274
1809 C-4 R1 Circle inside 0 VG10. Double Struck in Collar with Minor Rotation. Glossy dark olive and steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the reverse. Smooth surfaces free of any notable defects. Double struck in the collar with a 5-10 degree rotation between the strikes. The clearest evidence of doubling is on the nose, mouth, and along the bottom edge of the bust. Ms Liberty has two mouths and four lips, which gives her a distinctly odd look. The doubling on the reverse is far more subtle, but it can be seen on the uprights of the H and L in HALF. The circle inside the 0 is clear. Davy #09.4.12.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
