1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-120a, T-28. Rarity-4. Pointed 6, Stem Through Claw. VF-20 (NGC).,Thoroughly original and remarkably attractive, the lavender-gray patina of this piece is accented by a subtle rainbow iridescence at the borders on each side. The surfaces are smooth and without notable abrasions, complementing the bold and uniform strike throughout. The reverse die is still in an early state on this example, equivalent to Tompkins Die Stage 3. A pair of parallel cracks travel from the rim through AM to the right ribbon end, and Stripe 4 is joined to the first two lines of stripe 5 by a small internal cud.,From the Sutton Court Collection of Early Half Dollar Varieties. Acquired privately from the Money Store, January 1985.,
