Magnificent MS66 Brown
'Restrike' 1804 Cent

1804 1C Restrike MS66 Brown PCGS. Breen-1761. Per Breen, "Struck about 1858 by parties unknown from rusted dies retrieved from scrap metal sold by the Mint in 1833. Obv. altered from 1803 Sheldon 261; rev. of 1820. Both dies hand-strengthened." This issue outraged some 19th century collectors, but it has been listed in the Guide Book since its inception. The obverse has the usual heavy lower left reverse breaks. As made aside from its beautiful aquamarine and light golden-brown toning. EAC 62. Population: 6 in 66 Brown, 0 finer (11/08).

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