1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems AG3
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems AG3. Double Struck over Reverse Brockage. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. No defects other than a few minor contact marks, just well worn. The date and legends remain readable except for the fraction, which is faint. The first strike was a reverse brockage with the incuse impression very slightly off center while the second was normal and centered on the planchet. Clear, ample incuse undertype from the initial impression shows on the obverse of the normal strike. The incuse undertype is far more obvious than you would expect given the amount of wear on this half cent and it includes most of HALF CENT, UNITED, and the fraction. The undertype on the reverse is far less obvious, but it can be found in the left side of the wreath. Very nice for the grade, perhaps closer to G4. Davy #04.13.23.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
