- 1804 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-13. Rarity-1. Plain 4, Stemless Wreath. MS-62+ BN (NGC). CAC. Handsomely toned in steel and medium brown shades, blushes of sandy-gold outline several of the design elements on the reverse where original color was last to fade. There are considerable faded gold undertones on the obverse. Well centered in strike, even though the denticulation is not complete, the detail to the focal features is bold apart from isolated softness to the ribbon ends on the obverse and the lower left portion of the wreath on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny, hard and tight with no blemishes of note. Cohen-13 is the most available die marriage of 1804-dated half cents, and one of the most plentiful within the entire denomination, 1793 to 1857. Given the number of Mint State examples known -- more than 100, at least -- Breen speculated that a hoard of Uncirculated coins may have existed at one time. The present example would do particularly well in a Mint State type set. Manley Die State 2.0, the usual state. PCGS# 1063. NGC ID: 222F. Click here for certification details from NGC.
