1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar. Pointed 6, stem not through claw. EF-40. Bright and lustrous from an ancient cleaning and retoned now with a dark ring of gold at the edge. A few trivial handling marks, but well struck and appealing for the grade. Struck from rusted dies as always seen on this later die state.

From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed on June 3, 1944 for $2.25.
