1808 C-3 R1 VF25
1808 C-3 R1 VF25. Double Struck over Off Center Brockage. Five points sharper and quite attractive, but there is a dull contact mark through AT in STATES and a small splash of reddish chocolate toning just left of the numerator. Otherwise this piece is choice and offers outstanding eye appeal for the grade. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with frosty lighter brown toning covering the protected areas on the reverse. MDS, Manley state 3.0. Double struck. One strike is normal and centered on the planchet but there is an arc of dentils across the lower part of the neck extending into the hair. This arc may be from a die or from a struck half cent (incuse brockage), but it appears to have come prior to the normal centered strike. There is no other evidence of an additional strike on either side. Davy #08.3.27.
Estimated Value $200-UP.

Provenance: Ex Don Valenziano 9/30/1994.
