Lot 277
1804 C-11 R2 Plain 4 with Stems VG10. Double Struck with Small Offset. Slightly sharper but the planchet displays a very subtle bend causing a bulge across the reverse from K-1 down to K-7. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy brown and chocolate blending to olive brown in protected areas. No verdigris and the only mark is a very light rim bruise under the 0 in the date. Double struck. The offset between impressions is about a half millimeter, and the shift is slightly rotated with a pivot point located at the top of the obverse. The result is clear doubling covering nearly everything on both sides, and the offset is larger at the bottom of the obverse and top of the reverse. The doubling appears more pronounced on the reverse, and looking at that side causes your eyes to work overtime trying to focus. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #04.11.20.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
