1806 1/2C C-1, Small 6, No Stems, BN MS (PCGS#35191)

August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

Lot Description: 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-1. Small 6, Stemless Wreath. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Lovely Choice surfaces are satiny in texture with a predominantly smooth appearance in hand. Glossy copper, rose and golden-blue patina throughout, both sides with a razor sharp strike to all major design elements. Were it not for a couple of carbon spots on the reverse at the letters F in OF and CE in CENT, this handsome example would likely have secured an even higher numeric grade from PCGS. The only Stemless Wreath die variety of the issue, represented here by a conditionally scarce Mint State example. Provenance: From The Des Moines Collection. PCGS# 1093.
