1804 C-10 R1 F12
1804 C-10 R1 F12. Struck Through Wire or Thread. Sharpness VF30 but covered with uniform fine roughness. No notable contact marks but there are traces of shallow verdigris in protected areas, mostly around ERTY. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with frosty flowline luster peeking through in protected areas, mostly on the reverse. There is an arc from the edge above the second S in STATES down through the left side of the wreath to the edge under the 2 in the fraction. This depression was created when a thread or piece of wire came between the die and planchet as it was being struck (hence the "struck-through" error designation). Short struck-through lines caused by lint from cleaning rags are often found on early coppers, especially on proof strikes, but struck-through depressions this long are quite rare. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #04.10.25.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
