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.

129,694 minted and CAC approved. None grade better in any color. DS-1.0. A sharply struck even medium brown Uber-GEM type representative with some red in the devices. The satiny surfaces show only minor imperfections.

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).

CAC approved; N-7 attrition on slab; R-2. This dusky brick-red premium GEM is free of marks and has only a few minute obverse toning freckles. The strike is good despite a few soft star centers. An outstanding Mature Head type coin. Likely part of a 1933 “Bank Holiday” horde (see Breen, page 211). EAC MS64. Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2009), lot 1064. Early on this coin was housed in a different PCGS Holder (40588166/12923755) and sold on 1/4/12 by Heritage as a CAC coin, before the (variety) holder switch. It is the prime CoinFacts example of both the 1850 RB and a N-7.

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).

CAC Approved 22,200 minted. Frosty with excellent mint brilliance and a hint of natural color. Very scarce as a business strike. Filled 2 (not uncommon). Perfect example of a 3-cent nickel for a type collection.

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. A lustrous key uber GEM with some subtle iridescent gold and icy blue tones. Sharply struck from a shattered obverse die. Essentially flawless with outstanding eye appeal. No finer CAC approved examples.

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.

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.
