<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBlade00, post: 1465087, member: 37468&quot;]Hey all, I just acquired a small type set with an 1804 Half Cent in it. I&#039;ve never really looked up varieties for these older coins, but I know that they can vary a lot from coin to coin. I came across the old coinfacts site with pictures of the different varieties (I don&#039;t have any Cohen books) and my specimen looks exactly like this one (to me) and might be extremely rare / valuable? Here is the link that I found;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c03.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c03.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c03.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And here is my half cent</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]183515.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]183514.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I&#039;ve read this is possibly the die from the &quot;spiked chin&quot; variety before the die was damaged to create the spiked chin. Also, the Cohen # may have changed to early state C5?? I don&#039;t know. I know my odds of this coin being worth thousands is probably slim to none, but I default to your expertise here to set me straight either way. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
