1804 C-9 R2 VF20. Triple Struck. Glossy light olive and chocolate brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel on the reverse. Smooth and very attractive. The only marks are a small spot of darker olive brown toning near the dentils behind the neck and a very light pinch on the rim (possibly as struck) over the E in STATES. Triple struck. The first impression was 15% off center to K-1 and the next two were only slightly off center to K-12. Evidence of the first strike is visible above the hair ribbons and head, and bold evidence of the initial strike shows on the rim above AMERICA. The second and third strikes are separated by a minor shift that left fine doubling around much of the legend and wreath, strongest at LIBERTY. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Davy #04.9.12.
