1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems VF30. Double Struck with Minor Rotation, Reverse Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate and steel with underlying flowline luster showing through in protected areas.

Clear doubling shows on much of the obverse, including the date, LIBERTY, and the ribbons. The reverse shows no doubling. Instead it displays a trace of the usual swelling associated with being struck against a new blank planchet thereby creating a reverse brockage. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #04.13.24.
