1804 C-8 R1 Spiked Chin AG3
1804 C-8 R1 Spiked Chin AG3. Double Struck Off Center. Attractive glossy chocolate brown. Many of the details are sharper than the assigned grade, but the strike is uneven leaving UNITED nearly gone and significant weakness at the opposing LIBE. No roughness or other defects. Double struck (which probably caused the unevenly struck details). The first strike was 20% off center to K-11 and rotated maybe 30 degrees CW relative to the second strike, which was properly centered on the planchet. Parts of the hair ribbon from the first strike are clearly visible behind the head and AM from AMERICA shows under OF of the second strike. Significant additional evidence of the off center strike can be found elsewhere on the reverse. The date is complete and clear but the "Spiked Chin" feature is weak. Davy #04.8.7.
Estimated Value $100-UP.

Provenance: Ex Gordon Wrubel 9/20/1980.
