1803 C-1 R1 VG8
1803 C-1 R1 VG8. Double Struck with Small Offset. Rather glossy dark chocolate brown with slightly lighter chocolate and steel toning on the devices. The surfaces are decent but there is extremely faint roughness under the attractive patina. The only marks are a few faint hairline scratches on the portrait and a very dull scratch above CE in CENT. Double struck with a small offset between the impressions, about a half millimeter to K-3. Doubling is obvious on the entire obverse, especially on the date, but there is no trace of doubling on the reverse. Perhaps the reverse became a brockage maker during the second strike, but that is only a guess. EDS, Manley state 1.0, without any die cracks on the reverse. Davy #03.1.5.
Estimated Value $100-UP.

Provenance: Ex Bill Weber (trade) 11/11/1980.
