1804 C-8, B-7 Half Cent, MS64 Brown
Popular Spiked Chin Obverse
Fuhrman Plate Coin

1804 1/2 C Spiked Chin, C-8, B-7, R.1, MS64 Brown PCGS. CAC. This is the plate coin for Fuhrman Die State 2 in the author's book, The Half Cent Handbook, Draped Bust Varieties 1800-1808. Ed Fuhrman recently produced a splendid series of six books for half cent collectors that are highly recommended. This Choice Mint State example is pedigreed to "The Whister," who was New Jersey collector Robert Yuell, a gentleman with a remarkable eye for quality as this coin illustrates. The rich blue-steel surfaces of this sharply defined example retains full cartwheel luster with only a few inconsequential marks. Spiked Chin Population: 10 in 64 Brown, 4 finer; C-8 Population: 4 in 64 Brown, 3 finer (10/23).
