Lot 137
1803 C-4 R4 G6. Double Struck Obverse/Reverse Brockage Maker. Slightly sharper but cleaned and retoned glossy light olive and bluish steel brown. No roughness or marks. Double struck on the obverse with a small offset between impressions. The tiny offset created an odd look to the date and LIBERTY, which appear thin and distorted while an outline surrounds Ms Liberty. The reverse displays no evidence of doubling, which suggests it may have been pressed against a blank planchet during the second strike creating a reverse brockage. The reverse is nearly upset on this example, rotated 165 degrees CCW from the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Davy #03.4.5.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
