1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath ANACS graded F12
1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath. ANACS graded Fine-12. Double Struck Obverse, Reverse Brockage Maker. Rather glossy dark olive brown and chocolate with slightly lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. No corrosion or verdigris, just light contact marks consistent with the grade. These include a few faint hairline scratches on the cheek and bust plus a stronger one under IB into the hair below E. Double struck. The obverse was struck twice by the obverse die but rotated 15 degrees between the impressions leaving clear doubling on the neck, bust, and along the back of the head. The reverse was struck by the die first, then against a new blank planchet during the second strike creating a reverse brockage on the new planchet. The characteristic swelling associated with being a brockage maker is clearly evident on the reverse, especially at UNIT into the wreath below. Our grade is VG10. The "Obv Dbl Struck" feature is noted on the ANACS label. Davy #06.1.22.
Estimated Value $100-UP.

Provenance: Ex Don Valenziano 4/16/1999 (during the EAC Convention).
