1800 C-1 R2 F15.
1800 C-1 R2 F15. Double Struck against Off Center Blank Planchet. Glossy light chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive. There are some tiny contact marks scattered over both sides, including a couple diagonal nicks under the earlobe and a very light rim bruise at the B in LIBERTY. Double struck. The first strike was properly centered on the planchet, but the coin failed to eject before a new blank planchet was inserted about half way into position and another strike occurred. The result was an impression from the blank planchet about 40% off center on the reverse (creating an off center reverse brockage on the second planchet) while the obverse was struck with the obverse die a second time. There was a slight rotational shift between the obverse impressions with the offset more noticeable at the bottom. The date reads "1188000" with clear doubling on the lower half of the portrait but none on LIBERTY. Removed from a PCGS slab graded F15 (PCGS label included). Weight 85.0 grains. Davy #00.1.26.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
