1808 C-3 R1 F12
1808 C-3 R1 F12. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown. Smooth and attractive for the grade. Free of any hint of corrosion or verdigris with only minor contact marks, none notable. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The reverse is rotated 50 degrees CCW relative to a normal head-to-foot die orientation. Double struck. The first strike was a 10-15% off center obverse brockage. The second strike was normal and centered on the planchet with the obverse struck over the incuse brockage impression from the initial strike. The incuse RTY from LIBERTY is clearly visible at the bust tip of the second strike, and obvious undertype of the head from the off center normal obverse of the first strike shows on the upper right part of the reverse. A clean, attractive example of this type of mint error. Davy #08.3.32.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
