Description
Remarkable MS64 Reverse Die Cap on a
Copper-Nickel Indian Cent
Undated Copper-Nickel Indian Cent -- Reverse Die Cap -- MS64
NGC. The copper-nickel alloy indicates the coin was between
1860 and 1864. A cent (not the present coin) clung to the obverse
die after its strike. The present piece was then fed between the
reverse die and the previously struck cent. This initial strike
caused it to adhere to the reverse die with an incused and reversed
impression (a brockage) of the reverse design on its obverse. It
then struck additional fed planchets, causing the present piece to
expand in diameter, though it is not cup-shaped since the collar
die was apparently blocked or broken away. The additional strikes
caused the obverse brockage to expand and become misshapen,
although ONE CENT and other incused, reverse design elements are
recognizable. Well preserved with olive-brown and orange-gold
toning.
