1/2 Cent    (sold for $320.0)

1809 C-4 R1 Circle inside 0 VG8. Tab Double Strike. Sharpness F15 but there are traces of light corrosion on both sides, strongest on the reverse where there are a few small patches of raised reddish brown verdigris. No notable contact marks. Rather glossy dark steel and olive. Double struck. The initial strike was 95% off center against another planchet rather than a die creating a tab on the rim of the planchet. This planchet, complete with the tab, was then inserted into the press and struck normally with the tab positioned at the bottom of the reverse. The sequence of strikes can be determined thanks to the extended dentils on the obverse part of the tab (the tab increased the planchet diameter in that spot providing more room for the dentils to be impressed during the normal strike). EDS, Manley state 1.0. The circle inside 0 feature is sharp. Davy #09.4.13. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Frank Wilkinson-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:273. Categories:
