"1803 Half Cent - COHEN 3 Notes: This was the only use of the obverse die. The reverse die was also used on: 1804 Cohen 1 1804 Cohen 2" Then it may be possible that it was also used on 1804 C-3. Yes? ,, No?

Hey, the Cohen-3 is already like winning the Daily Number; we've got a ways to go before saying you hit the Powerball! I've made an argument against the C-3 (and as Conder pointed out, the same argument is against the C-5). An argument's been made against the C-1. Anyone have anything else to add? I'd still like to see another pic of a C-3 reverse. Maybe the one I found is wrong; I think I'm already seeing one error on the Coinfacts 1804 Half Cent website I found it on.

Apparently the break is there on all examples of C-1. It is undeniably the high 4 obv. That means C-1,3,5,6,7, or 8. The point of leaf is pretty much centered between F and A. That means 1 or 8. (It definitely eliminates 3&5 and 7 which all have the point below the left foot of A. C-6 has the point a little left of the A, but it has the gap between the ends of the wreath below the center of the S.) On 1 the top inner berry on the right is high and above the serif of the F, and the berry below M is to the right of the first upright of the M. On 8 the top inner berry is lower and a little left of the serif of the F, and the berry below M is directly below or very slightly left of the first upright of the M. I'm still coming up with C-1. Possibly the crack just isn't visible? On the second coin both C-2 and C-9 develop a Cud over RTY. On C-2 the crossbar of the 4 points at the bottom of the 0. On C-9 it points about 1/3 of the way up the 0. This is a C-9.
