CAC Approved. Plain 4, no stems. In 1804 12 varieties were produced from 5 obverse and 6 reverse dies. The plain 4/no stems variety was coined from a single die pair (Cohen 13; Obverse 5/Reverse G). Uncirculated examples are scarce but are the most common 1804 half cent variety. Brown Mint State examples, like mine, are the easiest to find. The strike and luster on my example are phenomenal--and it was worth every one of the many pennies I paid for it.

CAC approved. Breen 2913; Heavy Date. Prominent clash marks are visible on each side. Essentially untoned with traces of champagne on each side. Originally purchased as an NGC slabbed coin I had it CAC approved before forwarding to PCGS for a successful crossover (and had the CAC sticker replaced).

From the Hansen Collection. In my opinion the only thing that keeps this beauty this from a higher grade, and CAC approval, is a hunk of organic matter under the I in UNITED (it literally has a hair in it--and it should have been removed prior to slabbing).

CAC approved. Fortin Variety 107; R-3. Type Two Obverse (two lines above E). Original silver-gray surfaces, satiny white, and clean. A great lustrous Uber GEM with fantastic overall eye appeal (and some light die clashing). Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and well struck. None graded finer by CAC.

CAC approved, near the top of the population. From the Rockford Collection, Part 3. Beautiful proof-like luster and orange/gold/blue peripheral toning. Could be a MS67 if not for a strike weakness on the reverse, at the right top of the wreath.

Based on Breen's description (page 334) I believe that this die pair was used to make the 12 "proofs" for this date. "These dies were later used (retaining initial polish) on business strikes, still later cracking" (as seen on the obverse).

B-1. R.3. Small Letters. Tompkins Die State 1/3. There is no die rust around the date, but the reverse has numerous peripheral die cracks. Several border stars are weak but the central devices are sharp. Deep blue, amber, and russet border toning frames light golden interiors on both sides. A thin, faint pinscratch near Liberty's nose is the only mentionable surface flaw.

CAC Certified. OC-6 Low; R.3. The date is re-punched, and a fine line connects the D in GOD to the eagle’s head. This beautiful and lustrous near GEM is on the cusp of a conditional rarity (only 5 coins have been certified by CAC that are numerically higher (4 in MS65 1 in MS66). The sweat drop on the bottom edge of the reverse keeps it from a GEM grade.
