Lot 299
1810 C-1 R1 G6. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Slightly sharper but there are some fine, old pinscratches in the field before the portrait plus a couple more on Ms Liberty. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive for the grade. Mostly glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. Double struck. The first impression was a 65% off center obverse brockage. The normal side of the brockage is under the obverse. Clear undertype from this strike shows at the stars behind the portrait, including the 0 from the date at star 12 and hair details at stars 9-11. The off center brockage impression is visible at OF AMER with an incuse star centered on the E in AMERICA. Davy #10.1.8.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
