<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 6551434, member: 101855&quot;]A million sounds a little high. Here are the mintages for the 1804, 1805 and 1806 half cents with the number of die varieties. </p><p><br /></p><p>1804 1,055,312, spread over 12 die varieties with two of the most common using the Stemless reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>1805 814,464, spread over 4 die varieties. The Stemless one is the most common, but the large 5 Stems is also fairly common.

The two Small 6 stems varieties are very scarce and rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>With a combined mintage of 2,225,776 for the three years, I don&#039;t think that half of those coins were the stemless pieces, given the common nature of coins like the Spiked Chin and the more common 1805 and 1806 varieties. Certainly 800,000 could be possible, but 1 million might be a stretch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
