Aha! It's 1804, and the Half Cents come in to their own... This is one of the two highest pop years for draped bust little sisters, due to a high mintage, and there are some great varieties, which I am delighted to see here. Here is one of mine, the common C-12 variety. It's one of only three mint state Half Cents in my collection (photos courtesy of David Lawrence Coins, where I purchased it):

It's been awhile, but these are always fun topics! No 1804 cent for me, but here's my PCGS XF-45 Spiked Chin Half Cent. This one looks like an AU in hand to me.

My first Draped Bust Half Cent - and the most common Spiked Chin variety - C8, purchased with no photo, sight unseen, in a lot of coins on ebay. But my favorite because it got me started on the early coppers. Now I don't have many (yet) but I've already spent about $1000.00 on EAC books so far, just primming my pumps and learning as much as I can before begining a collection of EAC coins.
