1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath VF30. Triple Struck. Sharpness EF40 but there are a couple faint hairline scratches on the portrait and a few more obvious marks in the field to the right. Glossy chocolate brown with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas and a touch of darker olive toning at the bust tip. Triple struck on the reverse with a small offset between strikes, perhaps the width of a dentil. The triple outlines are clearest on HALF CENT but evidence of the three strikes shows over the entire reverse. There is no trace of more than a single impression on the obverse. Perhaps the obverse was struck against a new blank planchet during the additional strikes creating an obverse brockage, but this is only a guess since there is no swelling on that side. Davy #06.1.9. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Richard Gross (the "Baltimore Collection") via Ron Guth 3/20/83. Categories:
