1804 Half Cent -- What would you grade it?

[lfortin411-migration]

Just purchased a 1804 half cent. What would you grade it? And is it worth sending to NGC?

[FILTHYHOARD]

Hello. I wouldn't bother sending it in for grading. I'd say it's a VG details with environmental damage. Enjoy it as is

The coin would not grade because of Environmental damage

(corrosion). As filthy posted – enjoy it in the raw .

I'm in the same boat as Mr. Hoard. It has too much damage and would just come back in a details holder. Not worth too much as it is, too much environmental damage and it's been harshly cleaned afterward. As stated above, just enjoy a super cool coin that you can hold in your hand.

Commercial Fine details, but heavily corroded and cleaned. Worth AG money.

VG sharpness, corroded and cleaned, taking the net grade and price to Good-4 IMO. The die variety is Cohen variety is C-11, Plain 4, stems, which is a slightly scarcer one with an R-3 rating. Given the condition that will not add any thing to the value.

Old coins is nice but I would not send it in.

Actually, that's a C-1. The crescent die break on the reverse gives it away. The "4" in the date is too high to be the plain 4 too.

Your are right correct. It's been a while since I've collected these.
