mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 03:37 am This coin seems to be a C9 crosslet 4 with stems: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/35155 The problems I am having center around how to find data on and evaluate the obverse Cud at 1 o'clock. Neither PCGS nor NGC seem to show this variation in their choices. The '4' in the date seems to be a crosslet type as opposed to a straight type but the corrosion at that exact point makes it difficult to make a 100% determination. Fortunately, the lined-up leaves and the slightly right-tilted 'T' of CENT make this C9 match more likely than not. Opinions on the variety and how the Cud would affect its valuation are needed.

johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 09:52 am To me it looks like the C-9 variety ..... obverse scratch distracting. NGC does show this variety with and without the obverse Cud ( if I am correct about it being C-9). Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/08/2019 07:05 am C-9 late die stage either Breen VI or VII (The Cud first appears on stage V). This variety has a faint crack through the centers of IBE in state II which becomes heavy nn state VI. You coin clearly shows the crack as heavy where it passes through IB and a little weaker from B to E. I can't see the heavy crack from rim-4-bust- rim at 4:00 that would indicate VII. All but one of the 1804 obverse had crosslet 4's so having a crosslet doesn't mean a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
