Lot 144
1804 C-7 R4 Spiked Chin VG10+. Double Struck with Rotation over Obverse Brockage. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. No corrosion or verdigris, only tiny contact marks. A very small pinprick left of the lowest curl is a good identifying mark. Close to F12. Double struck over an obverse brockage. The first strike was the obverse brockage, and the incuse obverse is under the reverse of the normal second strike. The obverse was rotated 10-15 degrees between strikes leaving two clearly defined faces on Ms Liberty, a faint extra L left of the strong L, and clear evidence of the earlier bust above the second one. Traces of the incuse LIBERTY show at the bottom of the reverse and remnants of the incuse bust lines show under OF. There is a lot to see on this one if you take the time, but the two clear eyeballs on Ms Liberty are the most interesting feature. EDS, Manley state 1.0, before the reverse die cracked. Davy #04.7.10.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
