Lot 604
1804 Cast Copy of the Restrike G6. A cast copy in lead or soft base metal. Slightly glossy medium gray. There is some minor "tin pest" in protected areas at BE in LIBERTY and several fine hairline scratches inside the wreath, plus a tiny rim bruise at the first S in STATES. The date is full but the reverse legends are weak and ONE CENT is mostly gone due to swelling in that area. Most likely a cast copy, but there appears to be a double profile on the portrait suggesting this piece may have been struck from transfer dies. Regardless, it’s a copy of a fantasy "restrike." Any possibility this was struck in base metal using the "original" restrike dies seems remote but not impossible. DWH #3098.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
