1804 1/2 C Crosslet 4, Stems Au55 NGC. C-9, B-8, R.2. PCGS Population (1.2).

 

The smallest denomination U.S. coin, yet nearly the size of a modern quarter. Made of pure copper, the half cent was useful for making change during its early years of issue. But as time passed and things grew more expensive, the half cent lost its usefulness and was abandoned shortly before the Civil War. Today, all half cents are scarce. All types carry a bust of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse.

 

This is a Very well struck coin showing even wear as its grade indicated, perfect Type coin.
