Lot 163
1797 C-1 R2 1 Above 1 Variety AG3. Double Struck with Rotation. Glossy chocolate brown. The planchet is reasonably smooth but there is an obvious patch of pitting left of the top of the cap. No verdigris or significant contact marks. Double struck. Both strikes were centered on the planchet but they were rotated 150 degrees between the impressions. LIB shows clearly just left of the date and a second date (which is weaker but readable) is positioned above the forehead of the dominant (second) impression. Similar doubling shows on the reverse, but it is less obvious. OF AM is positioned where the fraction and UN should be visible. MDS, Manley state 3.0, showing obvious swelling on the obverse. Weight 77.6 grains. Davy #97.1.11.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
