Lot 350
1849 C-1 R2- EF45+. Chatter Strike. Glossy medium brown with frosty lighter brown and tan toning in the protected areas and a wisp of reddish brown at F-A. Very close to AU50 but there are a few too many tiny contact marks for the higher grade, none notable or distracting. Fine doubling outlines all 4 digits of the date, most of the stars, and many parts of the portrait. This appears to be a result of die bounce (chatter strike), and there is no doubling on the reverse. EDS, Manley state 1.0, with slightly reflective fields on both sides. Davy #49.1.5.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 8/3/90.
