1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems F15.
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems F15. Double Struck with Rotation/Reverse Brockage Maker. Five points sharper with a fine hairline scratch from the bottom of the neck to the rim left of the hair ribbon and a small rim nick over the second S in STATES. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and void of any notable marks. Glossy steel brown and chocolate. Double struck with a 30 degree CW rotation between impressions on the obverse. Bold, dramatic evidence of the first strike is visible to the unaided eye, including an extra "04" on the bust. LIBERTY now reads LIBERERTY and much of the portrait from the first strike shows as well. The reverse shows no doubling because it was struck against a new blank planchet creating an incuse brockage impression. The "puffiness" or swelling on the reverse resulting from its involuntary use as a die is strong on this example as well (see the preceding lot). MDS. Davy #04.13.26.
Estimated Value $300-UP.

Provenance: Ex Bowers & Merena 2/8/90.
