1804 1/2 C Plain 4, No Stems MS65 Red and Brown
<B>1804 1/2 C Plain 4, No Stems MS65 Red and Brown NGC.</B></I> C-13, B-10, R.1. The Plain 4, No Stems type is the most plentiful of the various 1804 issues in Mint State grades, yet remains elusive with red and brown color. In fact, all Draped Bust large cents are scarce or rare in such preservation, regardless of the date. Even the 1806 C-4 half cent, the most plentiful of the entire type, is seldom seen as nice as this piece.<BR> A delightful example with considerable original orange mint brilliance, blended with pleasing medium brown color, all accompanied by hints of blue and violet iridescence. The design features are nearly full with excellent definition in the drapery and hair, as well as nearly full venation in the wreath. Census: 4 in 65, 1 finer (12/07). EAC 63.<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
