1835 C-1 R1 F15.
1835 C-1 R1 F15. Double Struck/Off Center Obverse Brockage Maker. Ten points sharper but cleaned and retoned frosty olive brown and chocolate with hints of lighter reddish brown in protected areas on the reverse. The only marks are numerous fake reeding cuts around the entire edge. These are visible only from the edge and were added with a reasonable amount of skill, but the purpose behind their addition is unknown. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet while the second was 20% off center. Strong, clear evidence of the off center strike shows on the reverse, including parts of CA from AMERICA on the rim under the stem end and the O from OF on the leaf below the F in OF. The obverse was pressed against a new blank planchet during the off center strike creating an off center brockage on that planchet and leaving a depressed arc from the rim above the head down through star 8, the lowest curl, and the date to the rim below the bust tip. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #35.1.7.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
