1807 C-1 R1 VG7
1807 C-1 R1 VG7. Double Struck. Perhaps slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but there is a small and relatively deep dig at the top of the N in CENT. Otherwise the planchet is smooth and void of any significant marks. Glossy steel brown and chocolate, possibly lightly cleaned and retoned but still attractive for the grade. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Double struck. One strike was normal and centered on the planchet but there was a second strike 40% off center in the form of an arc of dentils across the hair right of the ribbon. It is possible, perhaps probable, that the arc came first and the planchet then was reinserted into the press for a proper strike. There is no evidence of a double strike on the reverse. Not the most impressive version of a double strike, but the evidence is clear to the unaided eye. Davy #07.1.26.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
