1804 C-10 R1 EF40. Doubled or Tripled Reverse. Ten points sharper with a scratch from the chin to the shoulder plus a few additional light contact marks on the portrait. Frosty medium brown and light chocolate with a small spot of slightly darker chocolate toning under the bust. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Sharp double and some triple outlines show on most of the reverse, strongest on the wreath and HALF CENT. Fine doubling also shows on the date and LIBERTY, but this looks more like die chatter than a full second strike.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
