1803 C-1 R1 VG10. Double Struck, Off Center Brockage Maker. Glossy olive brown with lighter steel brown and chocolate toning on the devices. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Double struck. The first strike was centered on the planchet and the second was 20% off center, the reverse against the die and the obverse against a new blank planchet (thereby creating an off-center obverse brockage on that planchet). The doubling on the reverse is dramatic. A neat mint error, and the error is evident at arm's length.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
