<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1257679, member: 21705&quot;]NICE! All Mint struck 1804s are S-266. However, this one die is broken up into subcategories as the dies&nbsp; deteriorated and this is the most desirable of the three categories S-266b and rated R5. The obverse Rim break above RTY taking it from the a (R4) category into the b category, but before a rim break above MERIC develops taking it into the c (R2) category.</p><p><br /></p><p>Breen breaks category a into two die states so it is Breen die state III.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since all CC examples have changed hands numerous times and this has been in your family for 200 years, I&#039;d try to have it cataloged by Noyes. I&#039;d guess it&#039;s XF plus or minus even by EAC standards. With the XF State III in the ANS collection. This may be the best available b.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
