- 1804 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-9. Rarity-2. Crosslet 4, Stems to Wreath. MS-63 BN (PCGS). CAC. An impressive condition rarity for both the type and die marriage, this coin is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. The surfaces are hard and tight with a soft satin texture. The strike is a bit tight to 9 o'clock on the obverse, better centered on the reverse, both sides with full denticulation around the borders. Overall detail is sharp, in fact, the surfaces also smooth in hand with no mentionable marks. A few faint carbon spots in the right obverse field are all that seem to preclude an even higher numeric grade for this PQ example. Manley Die State 1.0. The 1804 Cohen-8, 9 and 10 varieties share the same reverse die, which is (almost always) readily identifiable by the presence of a thick crack from the border through the letter R in AMERICA. The obverse die of C-9 exhibits a short, sharp die line from the upper left curve of the digit 0 in the date that extends toward the adjacent 8. While C-10 is one of the few 1804-dated half cent varieties that is relatively available in Mint State, C-9 is conditionally challenging with most survivors grading VF or lower. The present example joins the Eliasberg specimen as one of the few uncirculated 1804 C-9 half cents that we have had the privilege of bringing to auction. PCGS# 1069.
