1802/0 C-1 Overdate 2 over 0 with Reverse of 1800 R6. PCGS graded VF-30 Brown. Glossy chocolate brown mixed with darker olive brown. The surfaces are reasonably smooth and display only minor marks, including a thin scratch under the L in LIBERTY, a small rim nick at the Y, a horizontal scratch under TA in STATES, and a shallow planchet chip (as struck) under the F in OF.

1802/0 C-2 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 R3. PCGS graded EF-45 Brown. CAC Approved. Choice glossy chocolate brown. Nearly flawless except for a pair of short but obvious scratches at ME in AMERICA. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0, with fine die rust covering much of the fields on both sides, primarily near the dentils. These dies were well on the way to becoming two of the most severely rusted dies used in the entire series before most of the roughness was polished off for the latest die state (Manley state 5.0). This was the "model" coin for the electrotype copies of this variety, and the copies are easily identified by the two scratches at ME (unless you have this real one, of course). Plated in the Breen encyclopedia to illustrate the variety (large reverse photo on page 206) and his die state IV (small photos for obverse and reverse), plus both sides are illustrated in his color plates at the end of the book. Also plated on page 38 in the second edition of the Cohen book to illustrate the earlier die state (although this piece is far from the early state). Our grade is EF40 net VF35. Probably finest known by a small margin, slightly better than the second EF listed in the Breen/Hanson census (encyclopedia, page 207) in a side-by-side comparison conducted in August of 1993. Weight 79.8 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded (PCGS # 35125) .

1804 C-2 R6. PCGS graded VF-30 Brown. CAC Approved. Glossy chocolate brown. No roughness or verdigris, but there are quite a few small contact marks scattered over the obverse, especially on the left side. The best identifying mark is a disjointed nick from the lowest curl down to the rim below. EDS, Manley state 1.0, with the reverse rotated 30 degrees CW. Softly struck on the left edge of both sides, as usual on this variety, causing weakness at TED-ST, while everything else is properly impressed.

1804 C-3 (C-5 early, Without Spike From Chin) R7- PCGS Graded "Genuine", Fine Details, Damage or Tooling. Sharpness at least VG8 but there are numerous scratches on both sides. Most are very fine hairline scratches of minor importance, but there are some stronger ones on the obverse, particularly along the dentils under the date and along the rim in both directions. Glossy dark steel brown. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The smooth (unspiked) chin feature is clear. The reverse is plated on page 232 of the Breen encyclopedia to illustrate the variety (which in reality is an early die state of the C-5 variety, or, said another way, C-5 is a late state of the C-3 variety). The exact cause of the "Spike" is uncertain. Obviously something (perhaps a small screw) came between the obverse die and a planchet during a strike early in this marriage (die pairing) causing significant damage to the obverse die. Fortunately the die survived and went on to perform adequately in three more marriages before retirement (C-6, 7, and 8). Our grade is VG8+ sharpness net G6. One of only 2 examples known of the C-3/5 variety without the "Spiked Chin" when the Breen book was written, but about a dozen are known today. Most are in low grade with only a single piece grading better than F12. The attribution (as C-5 without Spike) and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. Only 1 example of the variety has been graded at PCGS, a VF30 (PCGS # 35152) .

No verdigris, but there are myriad old, fine scratches on the obverse plus a few more on the reverse, all blended nicely into the natural toning.

Mint state sharpness but there are three tiny planchet voids on the neck with darker planchet slag inside the voids, as struck.

1804 C-8 Spiked Chin R1. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. CAC Approved. The obverse is highly lustrous blue steel and medium brown with traces of mint red. The reverse is lustrous light steel brown with generous traces of the original mint color remaining. The surfaces are satiny and choice. Outstanding eye appeal.
