Lot 32
1804 C-5 R4 Spiked Chin NGC graded AU55. Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with frosty tan in the protected areas, particularly on the obverse. The surfaces are smooth and this half cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a fine scratch in the field left of the lower curls and a shallow planchet chip on the rim over the R in AMERICA (as struck). M-LDS, Manley state 5.0, with die cracks on the reverse and swelling through TES-O. The Spiked Chin feature is bold. Our grade is EF40+. The attribution and Jules Reiver Collection provenance are noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $800 - UP
