[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 881679, member: 2972"]1804, non spiked chin, plain 4 & no stems, I think. The commonest date in the series, IIRC, but I'm unsure of cohen variety & associated rarity. That said, I do like the coin, but a bit leery of the color difference between obverse and reverse -- my first thought is the obverse looked a bit odd and the reverse looks nicer (typical of this type and it's large cent of the same period). If you're collecting by variety, then the coin might be a consideration, but for type, you can do better, IMO. That said, I've been called, as recently as yesterday, too picky when it comes to coins, and it certainly could just be the photos deceiving me. ;) I'd TPG grade the coin AU 53 (+- one grade), EAC grade it a 40 AVG +, and value it (barring any rare variety, i.e. as a type coin) at $650. Nice coin!...Mike[/QUOTE]
