Description

Exceptional MS66 Brown
'Restrike' 1804 Half Cent

1804 1C Restrike MS66 Brown PCGS. CAC. An out-of-mint issue, struck circa 1860 from muled and altered-date Mint dies that had been sold as steel scrap. The rarity of the official 1804 cent, known from a single die pair, created demand that was partly met by this contemporaneously condemned private restrike. Struck from broken and heavily rusted dies. Evenly toned golden-brown, but otherwise essentially as made. EAC 60. Population: 7 in 66 Brown, 0 finer (6/09).

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 224J, PCGS# 45344, Greysheet# 740)
