<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25742970, member: 101855&quot;]The Spiked Chin 1804 half cent is known with four different reverses. The die is known with two reverses before it was damaged, which created the Spiked Chin. One guess is that a screw got beteen the dies which left the spike and the treads of the screw caused the marks in the field.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse die was injured when this variety was in the coin press. This is a Cohen vareity 1804, #5. I believe that the screw broke the reverse die which shows a large crack.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1644383[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in the OP is Cohen 1804 #8 which is the most common Spiked Chin variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
