1804 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-10. Rarity-1. Crosslet 4, Stems to Wreath--Double Struck with Reverse Rotation--AU-55 BN (NGC).

This visually engaging piece sports rich toning in steely copper-brown, both sides also revealing glints of deep rose color as the surface rotate under a light. The obverse is boldly to sharply struck throughout with no evidence of doubling. The reverse, however, is dramatically double struck with a few degrees rotation between impressions, the result a pronounced halo effect to all design elements. Hard and satiny in texture with no troublesome marks or other blemishes, this coin would make an impressive addition to an advanced half cent collection.

PCGS# 1069. NGC ID: 222F.

Estimate: $ 1000
