1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VG10. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Sharpness F12 with a collection of fine hairline scratches in the field before the portrait plus a couple more on the portrait. All the scratches are old and blend into the attractive glossy chocolate brown toning. No roughness or verdigris. The details and eye appeal certainly look better than the assigned grade might imply, but that part really isn't too important. What is important is that this piece was double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet, but the piece failed to eject completely before being struck again. The second strike was 85% off center leaving the Y of LIBERTY near the rim left of the hair ribbon. The corresponding arc at ED STA on the reverse resulted from being struck against a new blank planchet that had been inserted into the press (presumably leaving an off center brockage impression on that planchet). EDS, Manley state 2.0. The "Spiked Chin" is clear. Davy #04.6.29. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 9/19/89. Categories:
