Lot 716
1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin F12. Double Struck with Obverse Brockage. Sharpness VF20 or a bit better but the planchet is covered with extremely faint roughness and there are numerous shallow scratches in the field left of the ribbon and curls. Cleaned and retoned a mostly glossy olive and bluish steel brown with lighter highlights on the obverse. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Double struck. The first strike was a slightly off center obverse brockage and the second strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The incuse obverse brockage impression from the first strike shows clearly on the reverse of the normal second impression. An incuse 1804 date shows at ES-O and the bust tip is visible at F-A. Parts of the incuse LIBERTY show around the denominator. Extensive doubling shows on the obverse, including two eyes, two "spiked chins," and an extra 4 imbedded into the bust just right of the dominant 4. Another great mint error.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
