Description

Double Struck C-3 1808 Half Cent
Second Strike 90% Off Center, VF30

1808 1/2 C --Double Struck, Second Strike 90% Off Center--VF30 NGC. C-3, B-3, R.1. Manley Die State 1.0 without any indication of the vertical die streaks that appear on the right obverse field of most better grade examples. This is a well-known variety whose second 8 in the date was formed by stacking two small 0 punches normally used to form the fraction denominator. Struck from medal turn dies.
This coin is prominently double struck. The first strike was normal, but the piece failed to fully eject from the screw press and was struck a second time, 90% off center at 1 o'clock relative to the first strike. The second strike is off center toward 11 o'clock and shows the 08 in the date and the lower portion of the bust tip. The second strike is uniface obverse; the reverse die was blocked by a newly fed planchet, which is not included. A medium brown midgrade example with smooth surfaces save for faint thin marks above the H in HALF and on the lower right obverse field. MRB Fine 15.(Registry values: P5)
