1825 C-2 R1 AG3 but Holed. Off Center. Nice glossy light chocolate and medium brown. The surfaces are smooth and attractive. A dull dent under the first T in STATES, a pinprick on the top of the 8 in the date, and a small hole drilled through the unstruck portion of the planchet outside star 2 are the notable marks. Of course, the hole is the first thing you see, and it is indicative of the lack of collector-like respect these early errors received from the public. Struck 15% off center to K-2.5. Davy #25.2.13. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 7/5/1989. Categories: Selections from the Davy Collection of US Half Cents Part 2
