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 above, are the easiest to find. Red-Brown examples are much tougher and full red examples are exceedingly rare. The strike and luster on my example are phenomenal.

CAC Approved. Choice lustrous medium steel brown and light olive with a third of the mint red remaining on both sides. The only notable marks, and they are trivial, are a small puff of darker bluish steel toning at the dentil tips right of star 11 and faint traces of an old fingerprint on the front of the face. MDS. The die cracks on the reverse are clear (an un-cracked example is unknown) and fine die clash marks are visible on both sides. Not seen by Noyes or Bland. The N3 attribution and Ahumada provenance are noted on the label. Tied for finest RB of the variety at both services. Ex Heritage 1991 Spring ANA Sale, lot 92 (lot ticket included).

Won through Heritage as an NGC CAC coin. I then crossed it into a PCGS slab and had it re-approved by CAC.
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). High end and just sensational! Remarkable silver-gray surfaces are original, satiny white, and clean.

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.
