1804 C-8 R1 Spiked Chin EF40. Glossy chocolate brown with steel and light olive brown toning on the highpoints. Frosty flowline luster shows in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a few small ticks on the portrait, none significant. LDS, Manley state 6.0, with a raised retained cud connecting LIBE to the rim. This attractive piece is plated in the second edition of the Cohen half cent book (page 52) to illustrate what he calls the "Broken Obverse" die state. The "Spiked Chin" is obvious. Davy #04.8.23.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
