1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems VG10
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems VG10. Double Struck with Off Center Reverse Brockage. Sharpness near VF25 but dark and covered with extremely fine roughness. No verdigris, and the only marks are a couple small, dull digs on the bottom of the neck. Dark steel with some gloss on the highpoints while most of the planchet is rather dull. Double struck. One strike was normal but there is an 80% off center reverse brockage impression at the bust tip. Clear incuse designs of the wreath are visible on the rim off the bust tip and portions of a letter (perhaps an E or F) from the legend outside the wreath shows on the rim under the bust tip. In addition, weaker but easily visible evidence of another strike shows at the second S in STATES. Most likely the initial strike was the off center reverse brockage and the second was the normally centered impression. Davy #04.13.44.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
