1808 C-3 R1 PCGS graded VF35. Chatter Strike Obverse. Frosty olive brown and steel with smooth, very attractive surfaces. Flowline luster shows in the fields and protected areas on both sides. No roughness or verdigris, and the only marks are a few trivial ticks at the top of the wreath. LDS, Manley state 5.0. The die cracks through the I in UNITED and in the wreath left of C in CENT are clear. In addition a sharp but narrow double profile shows from the tip of the nose down to the bottom of the neck with stronger doubling visible on the hair ribbons. The doubling may be from a second strike or, more likely, from die bounce (chatter strike). There is no trace of doubling on the reverse. The strike was very slightly off center to K-6 but all the devices remain on the planchet. Our grade is VF25 choice. Comes with a nice provenance. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 10/1/1993-R. Tettenhorst (the Davy Collection), McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/4/2011:368-Dennis Fuoss Collection (lot ticket included).
