Description
1804 C-8 Half Cent, MS65 Brown
Sumptuously Lustrous Spiked Chin
1804 1/2 C Spiked Chin, C-8, B-7, R.1, MS65 Brown NGC.
Lustrous chocolate-brown surfaces contain hints of steel-brown,
biscuit, and steel-blue, making wonderfully varied coloration that
is stunningly eye appealing. All details are fully impressed. The
so-called "Spiked Chin" obverse was caused by die damage, likely
from a screw that fell off the press and into the coining chamber.
The damage happened early in the obverse's first use, on C-3/5, but
went on to produce C-7, C-6, and C-8 afterwards, making it the most
prolific 1804 obverse die.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 222G, Variety PCGS# 35167, Base PCGS# 1075, Greysheet# 80884)
