1804 B-5, C-7 Half Cent, XF40
Intermediate Die State

1804 Spiked Chin, B-5, C-7, R.4, XF40 PCGS. CAC. Our EAC Grade VF25. Please refer to lot 3062 for equivalents, rarity, die, and edge descriptions.
Surfaces. Smooth chocolate-brown surfaces with scattered circulation marks that are consistent with the grade.
Die State. Manley Die State 5.0. A reverse rim break over OF A joins the top of F and extends fully over the O and the A. Manley's survey includes 16 examples of this die state. Just six of those that he reported grade better than VF20.
Appearances. Plated in Superior's catalog of the Jack Robinson Collection.
PCGS Population (6/2022). The 30 PCGS submissions attributed as B-5, C-7 include two coins graded XF40 and seven finer examples.
Commentary. While the 1804 B-6, C-6 die pair is best known among die state collectors, the 1804 B-5, C-7 provides a greater challenge despite a smaller number of die states. There are 11 die states recorded in Manley and the variety is much scarcer than the B-6 die marriage.
McGuigan Commentary. Choice glossy dark brown planchet. Intermediate die state (M5.0) with rim cud over OF and "A" in AMERICA.
Provenance. Ex: Jack Robinson (Superior, 1/1989), lot 1935.
Personality. Jack H. Robinson was a collector who was born in San Diego, California, on December 11, 1941. The owner of a computer software firm and a commercial laundry business, Robinson also conducted coin auctions for several years as a partner of the firm McLaughlin and Robinson. He was the seventh person to complete a collection of the Sheldon-numbered varieties, the collection sold by Superior in 1989. Robinson compiled 18 editions of Copper Quotes by Robinson, a price guide for varieties of half cents and large cents. He died in 2021.
From The James R. McGuigan Half Cent Collection.
