1804 C-6 R-2 Dbl Struck over Obv Brockage EDS Draped Bust Half Cent Coin 1/2c

Description

Double Struck over Obverse Brockage. Mostly glossy light olive and chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive with only a few trivial contact marks. A tiny rim nick at the A in STATES is a good identifying mark. Double struck. The first strike was an obverse brockage that was centered on the planchet. The second impression was rotated about 5 degrees CCW on the obverse and the doubling is obvious on most of the obverse. The reverse clearly shows the incuse brockage undertype, including an incuse 04 from the date at S-O and parts of LIBERTY at the fraction and ICA. A neat error. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The "Spiked Chin" die flaw is strong.
