1/2 Cent    (sold for $100.0)

1825 C-2 R1 VF20. Double Struck Off Center. Glossy olive and steel mixed with chocolate brown. The only mark is a dull depression on the rim at the bottom of the reverse, and this was caused by an off center strike. Double struck. One impression was centered on the planchet and another was positioned 25% off center. It appears the off center strike came first. There is an arc of impressed dentils (caused by a die) from the rim over star 7 through the cap. A lighter arc of dentils shows in the leaves under ICA to the rim under the wreath. These dentils appear to have been impressed by a struck half cent rather than by a die. That would make the first strike an off center brockage that was restruck to create a "normal" half cent. And that would make sense. EDS, Manley state 1.0, with a bar on the edge at star 11 (possibly created by a broken collar) and the reverse rotated 15 degrees CW. Davy #25.2.18. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Doug Bird 6/95. Categories:
