Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 10:08 pm Hi, I have a couple of variety guides but nothing that lists this 1804 Half Cent Crosslet "4" with stems. Check the " Cud" on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 10:34 pm Your Half Cent appears to be VG 8 and in the 2011 Red Book Lists the value to be $90.00. Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 10:46 pm I was referring more to the " Cud" deposits as a variety. I have the Major Variety and Oddity Guide of United States coins 7th Edition. In it they reference 1804 Large Cents with broken die " Cud" but not the Half Cent. They list the Large Cent variety at $300.00 in 1975. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 11:18 pm C-6, B-6 late-state Die Cud, but they all seem to be "Spiked Chin" varieties. Not rare, except I'm having a hard time finding examples without the spiked chin. Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 11:26 pm Hi SuperDave, I purchased the coin because of the Cud. I love cool and different varieties. I didn't pay much for it so I wasn't hoping to hit a home run. Though, if I did, all the better. What variety guide are you using? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 09:12 am Quote: What variety guide are you using? The best free variety listing in existence - Heritage Auctions. Seriously, though, membership there is free and they have records (with high-resolution pictures) of 1.3 million coin auctions. They have 963 archived sales of 1804 Half Cents alone.

zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 10:52 am I owned this one a couple of months ago, I think that it is the same as yours. Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 11:20 am Wow, that's cool. It does look just like mine! I'll take a closer look at mine. I always felt it was a spiked chin. I already am a member of Heritage. It is a great resource as is the Stack's site. Zeewool, if you don't mind, what is yours worth? Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 12:20 pm The coin is a spike chin. Report this Post to the Staff
zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 12:33 pm I don't mind Medler..... I gave it to a friend, so my value was zero..... he sold it in the $180-$200 range I believe. Report this Post to the Staff
