Lot 160
1804 C-10 R1 EF45. Chatter Strike Reverse. Glossy olive and steel delicately mottled with lighter steel brown toning on the obverse. The fields and protected areas are covered with attractive flowline luster. No marks or other defects. The reverse is double struck, but the offset is small, less than a half millimeter. The doubling is clearest on the right side of the wreath but it can be found on nearly every part of the wreath and legend. This doubling may be from die bounce, or it could be from a second strike with the obverse pressed against a new blank planchet during the second impression (creating an obverse brockage). Can't be sure. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Davy #04.10.19.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
