1808 C-3 R1 G5
1808 C-3 R1 G5. Double Struck Off Center, Off Center Obverse Brockage Maker. Sharpness VG10 but covered with light to moderate granularity. No verdigris or contact marks. Dull dark reddish steel and olive with lighter steel brown highpoints. Double struck. The initial strike was normal but this piece failed to eject completely as a new blank planchet was inserted into the coining chamber. The reverse shows a strong second strike 55% off center to K-1 while the corresponding area on the obverse shows a shallow indent from being pressed into the new blank planchet, thereby creating an off center obverse brockage on the second planchet. A very bold mint error, just too bad about the imperfect surfaces. Davy #08.3.28.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
