Lot 264
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems Double Struck. VG-10 Plus. The obverse is very slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker. Frosty olive and steel. No defects other than a few trivial contact marks, none notable. This piece was double struck, and both strikes were centered on the planchet. The second impression was rotated about 15 degrees clockwise relative to the first. Evidence of the double strike is boldly displayed on the portrait from the top of the head down to the throat. The reverse, however, does not show any trace of doubling as this side apparently was struck against a new blank planchet creating a reverse brockage impression on the second planchet. MDS, Manley state 2.0. A clean, attractive example of this type of mint error.
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
