Description

1805 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-1. Medium 5, Stemless Wreath--Double Struck--VG-8 (PCGS).

A stemless wreath and a medium, slanting 5 are the main diagnostics for this variety. Impressive doubling on the obverse gives the impression of a camera being out of focus, with several degrees of rotation visible between the first impression and the second. The reverse is slightly rotated and exhibits weakness throughout. Charming mahogany color covers both sides. A fascinating and eye-catching error.

PCGS# 35179.

Estimate: $1’250.00
