1/2 Cent    (sold for $725.0)

1851 C-1 R1 EF45. Thin, Lightweight Planchet. Glossy medium brown with frosty mint luster in protected areas. A tiny rim bruise at star 11.5 is the only notable defect. The planchet is thin and therefore underweight, and the thinness resulted in a soft strike at stars 7-10 and at ICA into the leaves below. Weight 72.6 grains (versus the standard of 84.0 grains). Breen describes this type of planchet error as being caused when the planchet strip rollers "were set too close together." (See page 469, paragraph 4, in Breen's half cent encyclopedia for his explanation.) Davy #51.1.12. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex William K. Raymond-Jon Hanson-Walter Breen-Ray D. Munde-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:370. Categories:
