<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3201336, member: 8959&quot;]I finally got around to taking decent pictures of my 1804 cent. There is only one die variety for the cents of 1804, Sheldon 266. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sheldon 266 is known in 3 die states: die state a (no die breaks). Die state b (only one die break, and die state c (both obverse and reverse show a break). My example is a die state c, which is also by far the commonest. </p><p><br /></p><p>The cents of 1804 are in fact not rare. In fact, by some estimates there are as many as 1200-1500 specimens in existence (the majority being die state c). </p><p>Many examples show, however, corrosion, porosity, pits, or have otherwise defective planchets. Luckily, this example (which I bought exactly 30 years ago) has a nice almost defect-free planchet and pretty, deep-chocolate color. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your comments are greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]828634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]828635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
