1806 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-4. Small 6, Stems to Wreath. AU-53 BN (NGC).，Dominant swaths of mahogany eclipse each side of this lovely piece, adorned by crescents of apricot hues at the borders. The devices are uniformly bold and topped by steel blue iridescence, with suggestions of die fatigue present at the rims. A small flaw was present in the planchet when it was struck and remains still visible beneath the ribbons in Libertys hair. The fields are incredibly smooth and without blemishes, harboring traces of luster that is most prominent across the reverse. The strong eye appeal and overall preservation undoubtedly approaches the Choice AU level, asserting this piece among the mid-range of the condition census for the variety!，PCGS# 1093. NGC ID: 222J.，，Ex Ray Munde; Roger Cohen; Jim McGuigan; Jules Reiver; Bob Yuell; Chris McCawley; Bob Fagaly.
