This deep tan specimen exhibits soft underlying luster throughout. The reverse is aligned to 90 degrees with the top of the wreath at the 9 o’clock position. Struck from a rusted and discarded 1803 obverse die in combination with an 1820 reverse die in a similar state – the underlying 3 is plainly evident, as is the pebbly texture typically associated with rusted dies. Struck circa 1860 to help assuage the need for this rare date in numismatic cabinets of the era, its overall appearance would never fool today’s numismatists, and hopefully it didn’t fool 19th-century collectors either.
