 Half Cent. 1808 Breen 3. Cohen 3. Tall 8. Off-center strike. Very Fine-30, or finer. Struck 10% or more off-center toward the 8:00 position when viewed from the obverse. Dies are also rotated about 90 degrees from their normal coin turn alignment, which, when combined with the off-centering, is quite jarring to the viewer's expectations! Glossy, deep brown surfaces are smooth and trouble-free, creating much eye appeal on this scarce Half Cent error.
Ex Stack's section of Numisma '95 (November 1995, lot 1013).
