Early Half Dollars
1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem, O-114, T-16, R.5, AU55 NGC. From the more elusive early reverse die state without the prominent horizontal die crack across the center. This well-struck example retains substantial luster beneath soft gold-orange and peach elements. Light, yet distinct wear is largely concentrated at the high points, such as Liberty's shoulder.
