Lot 171
1804 C-11 R2 Plain 4 with Stems VG7. Double Struck over Reverse Brockage. Slightly sharper but recolored glossy steel brown and chocolate. No corrosion or verdigris, and the only significant mark is a small dig on the neck near the hair. Double struck over a reverse brockage (total of three strikes). The shift between the two normal strikes is small, about half the width of a dentil. The doubling is obvious over the entire reverse but shows only on the throat and chin on the obverse. The obverse was struck over a reverse brockage (incuse) impression with ED STAT located in the field behind the portrait. A decent example of a very rare type of multiple mint error. Davy #04.11.11.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 4/11/90.
