1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VF20. Double Struck over Obverse Brockage. Slightly sharper but lightly cleaned and nicely retoned glossy light olive and tan blending to light chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive showing only minor contact marks, including a tiny rim nick over the A in STATES. Double struck. The first strike was an obverse brockage that was centered on the planchet. The second strike was centered on the planchet as well, but it was rotated about 5 degrees CCW relative to the first impression on the obverse. The doubling is clearly visible on the date and most of the portrait. In addition there is clear obverse brockage undertype showing on the reverse including an incuse 04 from the date at S-O and parts of LIBERTY at the fraction and ICA. This is a neat mint error. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The "Spiked Chin" feature is obvious. Estimated Value $500-UP. Categories: Draped Bust Half Cents
