1806/5 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-103, T-8. Rarity-2. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC--Gold Label.An original and vibrant patina of emerald, steel blue, gold, and magenta paint each side of this desirable overdate example. The dies show considerable fatigue, with the denticles largely absent and the peripheral elements pulled toward the rims. The central elements remain nicely defined for the variety, showing the typical softness at center but offering overall pleasant boldness to Libertys portrait and the eagles feathers. Satiny and comprehensive, the luster is well composed and shows just the faintest evidence of friction across the highest points. An attractive and impressively preserved example. This Old Green PCGS holder features coin#6071, which is currently used to attribute to the 1806 Pointed 6, Stem through Claw variety. <p><p>From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex RARCOA, privately in August 1987; Heritages sale of the Hamilton Collection, lot 4466.
