<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1259507, member: 21705&quot;]First thing is to make sure we&#039;re talking about the same thing. There is only one Large Cent variety. There are several varieties of Half Cents in 1804 and are usually referenced by Cohen Variety. In Large Cents, the Large Fraction/Large date nomenclature is usually reserved for 1803.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a good reference for Half cents though you have to close out the site closed screen occasionally. It shows 13 varieties of Half Cents. The interesting one is the Cohen 2 which has a CUD from 12 to 1 and is VERY RARE. Let me know or post some pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c13.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c13.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c13.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c13.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c13.htm" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>This is a good site for Early Date Large Cents. It is the Holmes Collection. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.icollector.com/1804-S-266a-R4-F15_i8599551" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.icollector.com/1804-S-266a-R4-F15_i8599551" rel="nofollow">http://www.icollector.com/1804-S-266a-R4-F15_i8599551</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This and the two following lots show the three stages of S-266. The Crack (a line) usually occurs first and then the CUD (die fills to the crack). Breen divides State a into a perfect die without a break (I)and one where a die break over RTY exists (II)(R4 combined), but before it becomes a solid CUD (III) (R5). Then the reverse forms a CUD over MERIC and is the most common die state (IV)(R2).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
