Additional Description: The 1804 Half Cent with the Crosslet Four and No Stems variety is a distinctive example from the early years of U.S. copper coinage. This issue is recognized for the unique style of the numeral four in the date featuring a small cross at the top and the absence of stems on the reverse wreath, subtle details that highlight the Mint’s evolving engraving practices. Struck in Philadelphia, the coin reflects a period when half cents were an important part of everyday commerce, especially for small transactions.
