1806 50C O-109 MS (PCGS#39310)

October 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-109, T-15. Rarity-1. Pointed 6, Stem Not Through Claw. AU-55 (NGC). This is a lovely near-Mint example with satiny clouds of original luster surrounding the design elements on each side. Light evidence of handling shows only across the highest points. A thin pinscrape passes over Liberty's portrait on the obverse though this is largely invisible without magnification. Dove-gray in complexion and accented by faint traces of golden iridescence at the borders. Only two varieties of 1806 half dollars use a reverse with no stem through the eagle's claw, this one and the extremely rare O-108. The current die pair, O-109, also represents the only marriage of the Pointed 6, No Stem type, which is a popular Red Booktype and is subject to overwhelming demand from collectors. PCGS# 6071.
