<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26375381, member: 101855&quot;]The 1805 cent is fairly common with a reported mintage of 941,116. There are three known die varieties with two known obverse dies. Given the expected useful life of an early mint die, it becomes evident that a fair number of the coins delivered in 1805 were dated 1803 with perhaps a few 1804 cents. An 1805 dated obverse die could not have lasted for 470,558 or more impressions. (The mintage divided by 2.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1683106[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><i>The variety for this one is Sheldon #267. It is an R-1. PCGS graded it VF-30. There is some minor roughness on the surfaces, but the overall presentation is pleasant. </i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
