Description Description: 1855 C-1 R1 EF45. Incuse Stars on Reverse Rim. Frosty light olive brown and chocolate. Satiny mint luster covers the protected areas on both sides. Great eye appeal for the grade. A small rim nick over the left side of star 8 is the best identifying mark. There are two incuse stars on the rim over TES in STATES. These are consistent with an obverse brockage impression, but there is no other evidence of a second strike on the reverse. However, the dentils on the opposing part of the obverse (from under the date up to star 3) are doubled on their tips. There is no trace of damage that might suggest the incuse stars were made by pressing a struck piece against this one post striking. So I have to conclude the incuse stars came from a brockage impression. MDS. Davy #55.1.9. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 8/3/90. Categories:
