Description
1804 1C Restrike MS 63 Brown. These rather crude restrikes were executed circa 1858-1860 by a person or persons unknown, possibly Mickley or Dickeson, from discarded dies sold by the Mint in 1833 as scrap metal. The dies were badly rusted and required retouching. The obverse date was altered from 1803 to 1804, as can be clearly seen on this specimen, while the reverse is taken from the die of an 1820 issue. This piece exhibits pleasing glossy brown surfaces and considerable luster throughout. The striking characteristics are typical for the issue, although the denticles and peripheral details are sharper than is normally seen.
