Lot 369		1814 Classic Head Cent. Plain 4. . S-295, R1. Good-5 Double Struck Obverse, Reverse Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. Smooth and attractive for the grade, just well worn. The date is clear but parts of the reverse legend are blunted and unreadable. The blunt impression is due to being struck more than once. The obverse was struck against the die at least twice while the reverse was pressed into a new blank planchet during the second strike, thus leaving an incuse brockage impression of the reverse in the second planchet. This obverse shows only weak traces of the underlying first strike, mostly from extra stars around stars 8-13. The planchet is a bit thinner and has a larger diameter than usual due to the extra impression(s). Late die state. Estimated Value $150 - 300. Ex Ken Mote-Ray's Coins 9/10/99-Jim Corrado.
