Lot 2913
1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar. Pointed 6, stem through claw. PCGS graded EF-40. A soft strike with traces of luster still present. Light violet in the centers, iridescent blue to aquamarine at the borders, a heavenly combination that is only now and then present on one of these handsome early draped bust pieces. Well worth consideration. The extensive die break through the bottom of the date and into the stars on the left are characteristic of many half dollars minted in 1806. There must have been stress on the dies at this area, which tended to weaken them before they finally began to crack (PCGS # 6071) .
Estimated Value $800 - 900.
