Description
1806 Small 6, Stems Half Cent, AU58
High-Grade C-2, B-1 Example, Very Scarce
1806 1/2 C Small 6 Stems, C-2, B-1, R.4, AU58 PCGS. Our
EAC Grade XF45. Dark mahogany-brown and charcoal-brown patina
combines on each side. A richly detailed and evenly struck
specimen, with few surface blemishes. For pedigree purposes, three
diagonal marks appear on Liberty's neck and hair, including a thin
scratch from her ear to the hair bow. An attractive example of this
scarcer variety.Variety: C-2, B-1, R.4. The C in CENT is noticeably low, E and R in LIBERTY are widely spaced. Die State: 2.0, showing clash marks below RT in LIBERTY.
Population Data (5/14): PCGS shows five in AU58 with two finer (finest one MS63+). The finest at NGC are two AU55.
Heritage Commentary: One of three Guide Book varieties for the 1806 half cents, the 1806 Small 6, Stems is far more elusive in higher grades than the Small 6, No Stems or Large 6, Stem variants. An attractive example of this scarcer variety. Our EAC grade XF45.
Provenance: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 5021.
