The 1805/4 Overdate variety is particularly valuable and sought after by collectors. This variety shows remnants of a 4 underneath the last digit of the date.
Die state can also impact value, with early die state examples often commanding premiums due to sharper details. Provenance can significantly increase value, especially if the coin can be traced to a famous collection or historical figure.
