1804 C-10, B-9 Half Cent, MS65 Brown
Breen Die State I Plate Coin

1804 1/2 C Crosslet 4, Stems, C-10, B-9, R.1, MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. Manley Die State 2.0, showing light obverse clash marks. This Gem Mint State piece ranks high in the C-10 condition census and is recorded in the Breen/Hanson census. Although that census, published 40 years ago in Walter Breen's Half Cent Encyclopedia, needs updating, this piece is still a top-quality example of the variety. Both sides show lustrous light brown surfaces with hints of blue overtones on the obverse, and traces of faded red on the reverse. Crosslet 4, Stems Population: 4 in 65 (2 in 65+) Brown, 1 finer; C-10 Population: 2 in 65 (1 in 65+) Brown, 0 finer (10/23).
