CAC. 1804 1C Private Restrike MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. The so-called 1804 restrike was produced privately from left-over and mismatched large cent dies, and is called a restrike today only out of numismatic tradition. The obverse die was used to coin 1803 S-261, and had the date reengraved to 1804. The reverse die was used for 1820 N-12. Apparently produced in the late 1860s, about 1867 or 1868, both dies had extensive rust that developed over the previous half century. Since there never was an original coin that combined the two dies, the term "restrike" for this piece is inaccurate. Walter Breen identified two dies states in his Large Cent Encyclopedia, the earlier state with dies in near medallic alignment, the later state with coin alignment. The two different alignments suggest that these pieces were made in two different groups. Many 1804 restrike cents exist today, usually in AU or Mint State grades, but few remain with full original red color. Combined, NGC and PCGS have certified nearly 100 of these restrikes, yet only five pieces are designated full red, four at NGC and this single example at PCGS. Both sides are brilliant with light orange color and satiny, reflective surfaces that result from die polishing that was intended to remove some of the rust. The surfaces are nearly flawless. In the absence of extensive Census details, we feel that this piece may qualify as the finest existing 1804 Restrike cent.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
