Lot 346
1835 C-1 R1 EF45. Large Struck-Through Void on Reverse. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate mixed with some darker olive brown tones. The only contact marks are a few tiny, dull rim nicks, including one just right of the date and another above the back of the head. Struck through a large piece of cord or wire that meanders across the bottom of the reverse. This debris may have been on the planchet or stuck on the die, but either way it left behind a deep depression when the strike occurred. This type of error is not especially rare, but a struck-through void this obvious is quite rare. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The reverse fields are slightly prooflike thanks to a fresh die polishing. Davy #35.1.10.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
