Lot 184
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems EF40. Double Struck over Off Center Reverse Brockage. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with frosty light brown toning in protected areas of the obverse. Attractive flowline luster covers the fields and protected areas offering excellent eye appeal. The only mark is a thin nick on the rim under the 04 in the date. This piece is a flipover double strike, and the first strike was a reverse brockage struck 25% off center. The second strike was normal and properly centered, with the incuse reverse brockage undertype showing on the reverse of the second strike, clearest at the fraction and wreath ribbon. The strongest undertype on the obverse is on the head and forehead of Ms Liberty where portions of the wreath show clearly. A sharp, very attractive example of this type of mint error. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #04.13.38.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 1/5/93.
