Description Description: 1854 C-1 R1+ AU58. Large Planchet Delamination or Struck-Through Void on Obverse. Frosty steel brown and chocolate with satiny luster covering the fields and protected areas and a few tiny peeps of faded mint color on both sides. Excellent eye appeal, just the faintest hint of rub on the highest points from mint state. A large but relatively shallow void reaches from stars 12 & 13 to the cheek. This void may be from a planchet delamination (post striking), but the relatively smooth texture in the low area is more consistent with a struck-through error (caused by debris on the planchet or die). The weight is 85.0 grains, slightly heavier than the 84.0 grain standard. This also supports the struck-through position since a delamination would reduce the weight. LDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #54.1.5. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Mike's Errors (date not recorded). Categories:
