Lot 254
1804 C-8 R1 Spiked Chin VG10. Double Struck with Small Offset. Sharpness near F15 but there is a barely perceptible dent hidden in the hair in the center of the obverse that created a subtle bulge in the center of the reverse. The only other marks are a few tiny pinpricks on the upper left quadrant of the obverse. Glossy chocolate and dark steel brown. The date and legends are strong and the "Spiked Chin" feature is clear. Double struck with a small offset between strikes, no more than a half millimeter. Doubling is sharp and clear on the reverse, strongest on the leaves and HALF CENT, but there is no trace of doubling on the obverse. Perhaps the obverse was pressed against a new blank planchet during the second strike, thereby creating a brockage impression on the other planchet. Davy #04.8.26.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 8/15/2002.
