- "1804" (ca. 1860s) Draped Bust Cent. Private Restrike. Pollock-6050, Breen-1761. Rarity-1. MS-63 BN (PCGS). An overall glossy and well-preserved example of this fantastical "1804" variety. The complexion is a rich chocolate brown hue with pinkish color surrounding the devices on the obverse and hints of sapphire iridescence throughout. Nicely centered on each side and without any distracting abrasions. The dies that produced this privately-struck piece were initially used at the Philadelphia Mint to produce the obverse of 1803 Sheldon-261 and the reverse of 1820 Newcomb-12. 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. PCGS# 45344. NGC ID: 224J. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
