1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems VF35
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems VF35. Double Struck over Off Center Reverse Brockage. Very attractive glossy olive brown and steel with frost in protected areas. No hint of roughness or verdigris. The only notable mark is a light diagonal hairline scratch in the field before the chin. Double struck. The initial strike was a reverse brockage struck about 30% off center. The misstruck piece was then sent through the press a second time and struck normally. Clear evidence of the incuse reverse brockage shows on the obverse rim from K-12 clockwise to K-4, and an impressed arc from the outer edge of the previously struck piece being struck against this planchet shows from LI through the hair ribbon and lower curls to the rim under the bust tip. Portions of the normally struck reverse, including several leaves and berries from the wreath, show clearly on the rim above AMERIC of the centered strike. An attractive example of a really neat mint error. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #04.13.29.
Estimated Value $400-UP.

Provenance: Ex Don Valenziano 6/6/1991.
