1823 Restrike NGC graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Glossy light olive and medium brown with mellowed red showing in protected areas. The only mark is a spot of carbon in the dentils below star 3. LDS with die cracks on both sides. Portions of the fields on both sides are reflective thanks to aggressive die polishing to remove rust from the die faces. These "Restrikes" were made outside the mint using discarded mint dies that had been sold as scrap. The obverse die used was the normal Newcomb-2 variety of 1823, but apparently a reverse die of the type used in 1823 was not available and they substituted a reverse die used for the 1813 Sheldon-293 variety. The result was an "1823" cent that looked nothing like the genuine mint product. Walter Breen says 49 uncracked examples were struck in 1862 for Joseph J. Mickley before the obverse die broke. Examples in the latest die state such as this piece with die cracks on both sides were struck beginning in 1879 according to Breen. Our grade is MS63. Estimated Value $1,000 - UP
