Description
Early Die State 1804 Cent
1804 1C VG10 NGC. VG7 EAC. S-266a, Die State I, R.2. Consultation with the Guide Book provides a mintage figure of 96,500 cents dated 1804. During the year, however, the Mint actually produced 756,838 cents recorded in six individual delivery warrants. The final warrant, dated December 31 and including all cents coined after the November 12 delivery, totaled 96,500 coins, and this is the figure used. The assumption is that all cents struck earlier in the year were from dies dated 1803. Unfortunately, the Mint did not keep track of mintage figures for coin dates, only for annual production.The reverse is rotated approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise, a constant among genuine cents of this year. Every genuine 1804 large cent has the 0 in the date exactly opposite the O in OF, assisting in the authentication process. Large cents of this date are often collected by die state. This is the early die state without rim breaks on either side. The next die state has an obverse rim break and the final die state has an additional rim break on the reverse. See the next two lots for examples of each. This is an absolutely wonderful example with choice medium brown surfaces. Only a few light abrasions are seen. While most 1804 cents are on dark or porous planchets, a smooth light brown representative of this date is an unusual occurrence.
