Census Level 1806 O-112 Half, AU58
6 Over Inverted 6

1806 50C 6 Over Inverted 6 AU58 PCGS. O-112, R.4. A scarce and important Draped Bust half. Obverse 7 is seen here with a die crack in the right field that extends to the neck of Liberty. On the reverse, the right base of the F in OF is missing, and the eagle's beak is joined to a star point. According to Stephen Herrman's spring 2009 census of scarce and rare early halves, the finest coin that has been sold of this variety was this same AU58 coin that we offered two years ago. An AU50 example and an XF45 follow this piece. There are numerous coins available in the Fine-Very Fine grade range, but the numbers thin out quickly above that. This is undoubtedly a Condition Census example of this popular Guide Book variety. The surfaces are bright with a dusky overlay of gray, especially on the highpoints, and deep rose and blue toning around the margins.
