1/2 Cent    (sold for $6750.0)

1794 C-1a R3 Liberty Cap, Head Right EF40. Double Struck over Partial Obverse Brockage. Repunched 179. Large Edge Letters. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown delicately blended with slightly lighter and darker tones. The only marks are a thin, shallow struck-through line (caused by a tiny piece of thread from a cleaning rag stuck to the die or planchet during striking) that meanders from the bottom of the bust to the right side of the 4, and a thin diagonal scratch through the top of the 4. This half cent was struck at least two times. There is a 90% off center obverse brockage impression on the right side of the obverse and an arc of strongly impressed dentils located about 10% off center through MERIC. Sharply struck LDS, Manley state 3.0, showing clear die clashmarks on both sides. The repunching on the 179 is strong. A beautiful early mint error. Weight 107.4 grains. Davy #94.1a.5. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. Ex Gordon Wrubel 12/3/83. Categories:
