1807 C-1 R1 VF20.
1807 C-1 R1 VF20. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy chocolate and olive brown with very faded red remaining in protected areas. The only notable mark is a small nick-like planchet void at the dentils off the nose tip, as struck. Double struck over an off center obverse brockage impression. The first strike is 40% off center to K-1 on the obverse while the initial strike on the reverse is an incuse obverse brockage impression 20% off center to K-7. The misstruck half cent was then reinserted into the press and struck slightly off center to K-5.5. Strong undertype of the off center obverse strike covers the lower half of the second obverse impression. Ms Liberty is rotated about 180 degrees between the two strikes. Most of the date from the second impression did not strike up, but the top of the 7 is strong. The reverse shows incuse BERTY from the off center brockage through the top of the wreath. Another fantastic multiple-error half cent. LDS, Manley state 3.0 early. Davy #07.1.28.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
