1804 Half Cent, AU50
C-5, B-4, 'Spiked Chin'

1804 1/2 C Spiked Chin, C-5, B-4, R.4, AU50 NGC. Crosslet 4. Manley Die State 4, a rare die state with the bisecting reverse crack bold and no sign of the later crack that extends down from the O in OF. This is the famous "Spiked Chin" variety, with a heavy die flaw projecting from Liberty's chin. Numerous lighter, parallel die lines are seen in the field below. This variety is most often seen in the mid to lower-circulated grades, and is seldom seen in pleasing AU or Mint State condition. This example shows sharp detail and smooth, auburn-brown patina over glossy surfaces. Our EAC grade VF30.
