Description
Interesting 1804 Restrike, MS65 Brown
1804 1C Restrike MS65 Brown NGC. The 1804 restrike has been the subject of speculation by numismatists for generations. Not only was the "restrike" not of mint origin, but it was actually struck from a poorly altered 1803 obverse die! It was originally believed that Joseph J. Mickley, the source of the 1823 cent restrikes, also struck these examples. Breen, however, believes that the more likely culprit is John W. Haseltine. Perhaps future research will yield a more definitive answer.Lovely chestnut patina graces the surfaces of this interesting specimen. Both sides show significant die rust, and the obverse exhibits the typical array of die cracks. The reverse is weakly struck, as usual, but all of the design elements are visible. A delightful, unmarked example. EAC 60.
