1809 C-6 R1 F12.
1809 C-6 R1 F12. Double Struck with Rotation/Obverse Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate brown mixed with some lighter chocolate on both sides. Smooth and attractive, free of any notable defects. Double struck. Both strikes were centered on the planchet but the second was rotated 30 degrees relative to the first. AMERICA now reads AMERICRICA and ample additional doubling shows elsewhere on the reverse. The obverse was struck against a new blank planchet during the second strike thereby creating an obverse brockage. The obverse displays the usual swelling or puffiness that results from being struck against a blank planchet. The swelling on the obverse is strong on this one because of the significant rotation between strikes on the reverse. MDS. Davy #09.2.6.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
