1809 C-6 R1 F12
1809 C-6 R1 F12. Tab Double Strike. Slightly sharper but there is a small spot of very light corrosion close under star 8. Otherwise this piece is smooth and very attractive for the grade. Glossy light chocolate with lighter steel brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. MDS. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW relative to a normal head-to-foot die orientation. Double struck. The first strike was normal but the coin failed to eject completely and a second strike that was 95% off center left a narrow tab under the 09 and above ATE at the opposing area on the reverse. Both sides of the tab were struck by the dies as the dentils from those dies are present on both sides of the tab. The second strike was too far off center to transfer any of the design elements to the tab. Davy #09.6.23.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
