Lot 197
1804 Draped Bust Half Cent. Plain 4, stemless. . C-13, R1. Fine-15 Double Struck. Reverse Brockage Maker. Slightly sharper with some minor contact marks, none notable. Glossy chocolate and olive brown with frosty lighter greenish steel toning in protected areas. Double struck. Both strikes were centered on the planchet but they were rotated about 30 degrees between impressions. The doubling is bold on the portrait, but there is no doubling on the reverse. Rather, the second strike on that side was against a new blank planchet that had been inserted into the press, thus creating an incuse brockage impression on that second planchet.
Estimated Value $100 - 200.
