- "1804" (1860s) Draped Bust Cent. Private Restrike. Breen-1761. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Medium brown surfaces and pinkish-apricot high points encompass each side of this popular restrike, backlit by satiny luster in the fields. This well-known "restrike" was made unofficially circa 1860 from an altered 1803-dated obverse die with the reverse die of the 1818 Matron Head Cent. The obverse die was severely cracked and rusted at the time it was pressed back into service with the altered 1804 date. They were found on the location of the first Philadelphia Mint "among general rubbish when the basement was cleaned" years after the Mint's 1833 departure from the site, probably in the mid 1850s according to a recollection published in the December 1910 issue of The Numismatist.
