Attractive 1806 Half Dollar, MS61, O-109a

1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem MS61 NGC. O-109a, R.4. This variety is instantly recognizable because of the heavy die crack at star 12. Another prominent die crack is located at the base of the date. A light layer of attractive rose-gold toning covers both sides, with impressive, wavy luster radiating beneath. The surfaces are remarkably pristine for the grade and enhance the great eye appeal. Significant die rust is visible on the reverse, which is not surprising considering the late state of this striking. The stars and eagle show weakness, as typically seen, but overall this is an excellent representative of the variety. Stephen Herrman's list of finest known examples has two MS61 pieces, with only four finer.
