Early Half Dollars
1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem, O-120, T-28, R.3, MS63 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 2/2, although the obverse is in the early stage of this die state. The obverse shows die cracks along the left-hand stars and from the rim to star 3, as well as clash marks, from its previous use in Overton-119. The most appealing aspect of the present coin is its condition. Lustrous surfaces are unworn and only a couple of thin pinscratches in the lower-right obverse field limit the grade. Uncirculated Draped Bust half dollars are elusive as a type, usually only seen in the 1806 Pointed 6, Stem subtype and the 1807 issue. This piece is attractively toned with lavender-gray interiors and gold and sea-green border toning. There is a small bar-like strike-through in the dentils near star 5 on the obverse. We anticipate active interest from type collectors when this Uncirculated Draped Bust half dollar crosses the auction block. Population (all Pointed 6, Stem varieties included): 11 in 63, 21 finer (6/17).
