Amazing 1804 Restrike Cent, MS66 Red
Possibly the Finest Known
1804 1C Restrike MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. The so-called 1804
restrike was produced privately from left-over and mismatched large
cent dies. The obverse die was used to coin 1803 S-261, and had the
date reengraved to 1804. The reverse die was used for 1820 N-12.
Apparently produced in the late 1860s, about 1867 or 1868, both
dies had extensive rust that developed over the previous half
century.Many 1804 restrike cents exist today, often in Mint State grades, but few remain with full original red color. Both sides are brilliant with light orange color and satiny, reflective surfaces that result from die polishing that was intended to remove some of the rust. The surfaces are nearly flawless. In the absence of extensive Census details, we feel that this piece may qualify as the finest existing 1804 Restrike cent. MRB MS65.
