1804 (C-1 R.3+ 'crosslet 4') Draped Bust half-cent VF-20 1804 (C-1 R.3+ 'crosslet 4') Draped Bust half-cent VF-20
Lot Title: 1804 (C-1 R.3+ 'crosslet 4') Draped Bust half-cent VF-20
Description: The "crosslet four" is a better Redbook variety, and the rarity rating of at least R3+ confirms this. The present example is reasonably sharp considering the middle die state, as confirmed by the arcing die crack on the reverse. There is a recent abrasion on Liberty's shoulder, as well as a couple of circulation marks on the portrait and the scattering of tiny marks typical of the grade. Sharpness of VF-20. EAC 12.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $170.00
High Estimate: $210.00

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
296The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$390.00
1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems (C-10), and an 1807 (C-1), both VF.
By commercial standards, these should both qualify for a very-fine grade, although 1804 C-10 seems to have been struck from old dies that imparted slightly mushy definition. For the 1807 C-1,...
210The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$425.00
1804 (C-10) Crosslet 4 - Stems. PCGS XF-45.
Sharp strands of hair quickly decide the grade in favor of the "choice" level, with the added benefit of a pleasant chocolate-brown planchet. Each side displays a number of tiny contact marks, as...
208The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$420.00
1804 (C-9) Crosslet 4, Stems. AU details/cleaned.
Well defined strands of hair and exquisite details in the wreath immediately suggest commercial AU sharpness, and there is plenty of flowline texture nearer the peripheral areas to support that...
191The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,300.00
1804, 1806 and 1809 half-cents, as described.
A trio of half-cents represents two earlier types. Draped bust examples include 1804 (VF or better details, but cleaned and recolored) and 1806 (VF). An 1809 classic head has strong XF details, but...
193The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$650.00
1804 (C-10) Crosslet 4 - Stems AU-55, and an 1804 (C-13) Plain 4 -...
Extensive flowline luster permeates the fields on the reverse, and threatens to do so no the obverse as well, which would have put the 1804 C-10 in AU-55 even closer to mint-state status. As it is,...
159The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$900.00
1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems (C-4, R.5). VG/corrosion.
4 visibly leans left in the date, and this obverse paired with a "stems" reverse leads to attribution as C-4. VG details, and very decent color despite consistent and widespread corrosion on both...
167The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$2,400.00
1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems (C-10, R.1). PCGS AU-50.
Crosslet "4" close to zero and the bust, with a break through "R" on the reverse implies C-10. Die-state II shows clash marks behind Liberty's hair. Breen mentions "at least two seen with double...
168The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,050.00
1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems (C-10, R.1). NGC AU-58 BN.
Crosslet "4" in the date is close to both the neighboring zero and the bottom of the bust, and the reverse has a die break through "R" in LIBERTY. This is an early die-state, with no evidence of...
169The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,606.00
1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems (C-10, R.1). NGC MS-62 BN.
For an 1804 half-cent with crosslet "4" and stems, an excellent first "guess" at attribution is C-10, since it is probably the most common die marriage of the variety. It turns out to be a perfect...
88The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$750.00
1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems (C-9, R-2) AU and 1809 (C-6, R-1) AU...
A pair of half-cents, both higher grade and attributed. 1804 C-9 is a commercial AU-50 that would qualify for XF-45 sharpness and an EAC 35 grade. This draped-bust type features a clean, lustrous...
414The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$1,100.00
1804 and five additional half-cents, attributed
1804 C-12 (XF-40, surface residue), 1825 C-2 (AU-50), 1826 C-1 (XF-45), 1828 C-2 (XF-40), 1835 C-1 (XF-40), and 1853 C-1 (XF-40). A very nice six coin lot.
416The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$210.00
1804 (C-9) Draped Bust half-cent, VF-30
Pleasing coin with a good strike and a nicely advanced die break through the R of LIBERTY. Free of rim nicks, but several circulation marks are visible on Liberty's portrait. EAC 20.
191The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$500.00
Three 1804 Half Cents.
Three different Redbook varieties of the 1804 half cent can be satisfied with the shrewd acquisition of this interesting lot. Included are: 1804 “plain four, stems” F-12, slightly bent; 1804 "plain...
245The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$380.00

1804 Crosslet 4 - Stems C-6. AU-50.
