Classic Head Cent

1814 Classic Head Cent. S-295. Rarity-1. Plain 4--Double Struck, Obverse Brockage Maker--EF-45, Tooled.

Double struck, the first strike was normal while on the second strike, the obverse created a brockage impression on another planchet that was fed into the dies on top of it, and the reverse was struck a second time with a rotation of about 10 degrees between strikes. The obverse surface is wavy and the reverse legends are jumbled as a result. A very sharp example of this type of mint error. Generally smooth surfaces though several patches of tooling scratches are noted.

PCGS# 36517.
