1804 Draped Bust Large Cent, XF45
Key Date, S-266, Die State IV

1804 1C XF45 PCGS. S-266, B-1, R.2. Die State IV. The 1804 Draped Bust large cent has historically shared a special aura with its lofty predecessor, the 1799. These two dates have always been the keys to the early copper series. Only one die variety is known for the 1804. Midgrade examples are quite rare, as PCGS reports grading five coins in XF45, with six finer, while NGC has certified six specimens in this grade, with five finer (6/10). The present coin is from an advanced die state, showing a die crack at the rim over RTY in LIBERTY on the obverse, and another over MERIC in AMERICA on the reverse. The surfaces are medium brown, with much original detail present on the devices. MRB VF30.(Registry values: N2998)
