1804 Draped Bust Half Cent, Spiked Chin

Struck over 200 years ago at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1804 Draped Bust half cent features 5 major varieties. This 1804 half cent with Spiked Chin bears a horizontal projection (spike) that extends in low relief from Liberty's chin out into the field. The Draped Bust design is seen on half cents of 1800-1808, and all Draped Bust half cents are prized collectibles from the early years of the nation. The 1804 half cent was issued during Thomas Jefferson's presidency.
