Lot 313
1825 C-2 R1 VF25. Double (or Triple) Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Glossy light reddish chocolate with olive toning on the high points of the reverse. No defects other than a thin nick right of the lower lip and a few marks caused by an off center strike, including an obvious depression on the rim over ES in STATES. Double or triple struck. One impression was an obverse brockage about 75% off center leaving an incuse star and an arc of dentils at the 18 in the date with an opposing depression at the rim over ES (most likely caused by a blank planchet). In addition, there is an arc of dentils 35% off center at HA in HALF to the rim at OF but no opposing arc on the obverse. This arc suggests there were three strikes on this planchet as a wreck occurred in the press. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. Davy #25.2.14.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 1/8/91.
