1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over 6 VG7.
1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over 6 VG7. Double Struck Off Center. Slightly sharper but covered with microscopic roughness and there is a dull dent in the curls right of the neck plus a lighter one on the cheek. No verdigris. Slightly glossy steel brown and chocolate with darker olive brown toning in protected areas. Double struck. One impression was centered and the other was 35% off center to the top and rotated 40 degrees relative to the centered strike. The error is very similar to the preceding lot in every respect. Clear evidence of the off center strike is visible on both sides, including an extra ear above LI in LIBERTY and a second eye looking down at star 6. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The overdate (actually a 9 over an inverted 9) is dull but visible. Davy #09.5.3.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
