2576 1801 O.101 (R-3) CH F $950.00

About Good or a bit nicer; 1805/4 O.102 (R-3). Good; 1806 O.109a. Pointed 6. No Stem Through Claw. Choice Fine. The 1801 shows a full date and some hair detail as well as a clear eye and mouth on Liberty, but detail is very weak at reverse left. The 1805/4 is quite strong for the grade and exhibits a full rim and problem-free surfaces, while the 1806 shows pleasing surfaces and an advancing...  more
2577 1801 0.102 (R-4+) F $1,200.00

Fine. Nicely preserved with moderate even wear and lovely teal and cinnamon toning at the rims. The coin was probably cleaned decades ago but little evidence of that injury remains today.
2578 1802 O.101 (R-3) VG $800.00

Very Good, or a bit better. A great deal of detail still remains on the central devices, and the stars and lettering are plain. The eagle still shows the vertical stripes on the shield, and there is a full rim, and the lettering is plain. There are signs of an old cleaning, but the coin has retoned an attractive, electric, azure blue at the rims, with a silver-gray and deep russet patina.
2579 1803 O.101 (R-3). Large 3 VF $700.00

Very Fine. The large '3' shows a vertical serif, reverse has only 12 arrows. A handsome piece displaying light graphite fields and battleship-gray devices.
2580 1803 O.103 (R-3). Large 3 VF $210.00

Very Fine. The coin was brightened long ago and has now retoned attractively at the rims. The letters 'W' and 'A' have been stamped into the lower reverse, near the rim, by a previous owner.
2581 1803 O.104 (R-3). Small 3 CH VF $850.00
1803 O.104 (R-3). Small 3. Choice Very Fine. The small '3' has no vertical serif. A satisfying example...
Choice Very Fine. The small '3' has no vertical serif. A satisfying example offering much detail that is free of distracting marks. A patch of attractive gunmetal blue toning has formed above the clouds on the reverse.
2582 1805/4 O.101 (R-3). 1 and Star Point touch Curl CH VF $1,400.00
1805/4 O.101 (R-3). 1 and Star Point touch Curl. Choice Very Fine.  A premium example with a crisp,...
Choice Very Fine. A premium example with a crisp, sharp overdate and pleasing, pale russet toning emanating from the edge.
2583 1805 O.108 (R-4+) G to VG $180.00

Good to Very Good. Star 13 touches, upper edge of bust; 4 berries, 12 arrows. A handsome example with teal and deep russet toning through the stars, but a bit rough in the fields, giving this early Half Dollar character.
2584 1805 O.111 EF $1,000.00

Extremely Fine. Star is attached to beak and scroll. A well struck example showing deep hair curls and a touch of attractive pale russet toning for bold beauty.
2585 1805 O.111 VF $250.00

Very Fine, or at least in terms of wear. The obverse shows a multitude of small scratches, and the reverse has been cleaned with a mild abrasive. Miraculously, the coin still has an attractive appearance due to the multi toned patina at the rims, the strong detail from an original razor sharp strike, and a no-problem flan.
2586 1805 O.112 EF $1,200.00
1805 O.112. Extremely Fine. Medium blue at the edges with the centers showing a moderate shade of...
Extremely Fine. Medium blue at the edges with the centers showing a moderate shade of gold. The obverse decently struck while the reverse is a bit weakly struck especially so on the eagle's head. There is still some lustre present under the toning. All in all a very respectable example of this early Bust Half Dollar.
2587 1805 O.113 (R-4+) VF $400.00

Very Fine. Star 1 and 13 nearly touch curl and bust. This reverse shows a star joined to beak, 13 arrows. An attractive example showing evidence of an old cleaning in the distant past.
2588 1805 O.113a (R-4+) VF $500.00

Very Fine. Reverse displays 13 arrows on this well executed, early die state example which boasts bold hair detail and a blush of faded russet toning.
2589 1806/5 O.101 (R-3) CH AU $5,500.00
1806/5 O.101 (R-3). Choice About Uncirculated and on the verge of full Mint State. Attractive iridescent...
Choice About Uncirculated and on the verge of full Mint State. Attractive iridescent color at the rims with the centers a pale gray and gold. The strike is excellent and the lustre peeks out clearly from underneath the toning. A very well preserved example that is sure to please. NGC AU58.
2590 1806/5 O.101 (R-3) CH VF $700.00

Choice Very Fine. Star 12 is recut, Star 13 joined to bust. A very attractive coin exhibiting faded sky blue, russet and gold toning from long storage in an old-time coin board.
2591 1806/5 O.103 VF $400.00

Very Fine. Point of star is attached to beak, right base of F missing. The fields are toned a pleasing slate gray, though the devices are still mostly silver. A short scratch exists in the left reverse field.
2592 1806/5 O.103 VF $250.00

Very Fine. Surfaces are chromium silver in tone and exhibit noticeable hairlines from a past cleaning. Strike is bold and full, and an arcing planchet flaw is noted at central obverse.
2593 1806/5 O.104 (R-4) CH VF $650.00

Choice Very Fine. Light silver-gray in the fields, deepening to pewter gray and russet-gold near the peripheries. Lustre lies in the protected areas of this coin exhibiting weakly struck stars and clouds at upper right reverse.
2594 1806 O.105. Knobbed 6 VF $600.00

Very Fine. Rather attractive, lustrous silver-gray surfaces exhibit golden overtones and the usual areas of striking weakness. Some friction in the fields is all that keeps this from a much higher grade.
2595 1806 O.106 (R-4). Knobbed 6 VF $400.00

Very Fine. Attractive, with teal and gray toning through the stars and letters on a flan with no problems. Lightly cleaned long ago, but not overly bright, and showing a pearl gray patina.
2596 1806 O.109. Pointed 6. No Stem Through Claw EF $650.00

Extremely Fine, or almost so. An interesting pearl gray example with faded russet at the rims, and just moderate circulation marks in the fields.
2597 1806 O.109. Pointed 6. No Stem Through Claw VF $450.00

Very Fine. This reverse shows no stem through claw. A handsome, well struck and nearly Choice example showing a surprising lack of circulation marks and pleasing battleship-gray patina.
2598 1806 O.112 (R-4). Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw CH F $240.00

Choice Fine. Surfaces are bright silver-gray from a past cleaning and are now beginning to retone to a golden-gray at the peripheries. Light scuff is noted at reverse center of this coin struck from a horribly cracked obverse die.
2599 1806 O.114 (R-4). Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw CH F $400.00

Choice Fine. Pleasing, fully original surfaces are light silver-gray on the designs, lettering and stars, while the fields are a wonderfully wholesome, gently iridescent golden-gray tone. Flan is spread out wildly (33.6mm x 33.4mm) and is definitely a bit out of round and very thin. Here is a wonderful specimen of this very scarce variety that is ideal for thoughtful study of the early...  more
2600 1806 O.114 (R-4). Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw VG $180.00

Very Good. Stars are large with sharp points, large date, die defect lump just right of the tip of '6', 'T' is broadly recut; 5 berries, lower right serif of 'F' missing. The coin has been punched through the 2nd cloud at right which shows as a lump near the drapery on the obverse. There is nice looking teal toning through the stars and letters and over all, still a pleasing example.
2601 1806 O.115. Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw CH F $200.00

Choice Fine. Surfaces are a deep graphite gray with lighter slate gray fields on this remarkably mark-free and fully original Draped Bust Half Dollar. Usual striking weakness at lower hair curls is visible even on this well worn specimen.
2602 1806 O.115a. Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw F $200.00

Fine, or nearly so. Extensive die cracks through date, 'TY' repunched; 5 berries, lower one has no stem. A handsome example with teal and cinnamon toning around stars and lettering. Cleaned long ago, and now retoned with a silver-gray patina.

Extremely Fine. 'TY' repunched but less visible. 5 berries, the lowest one has no stem, but the upper two have heavy stems joined at the base. A star point is joined to the tip of the eagle's beak. The coin shows an ancient cleaning, but has now partially retoned. It shows an attractive teal and faded russet toning through the stars and letters, under a silver-gray patina.
2604 1806 O.118a (R-3). Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw F $220.00

Fine. All stars have sharp points, 1 and 6 nearly touch curl and bust; Shattered die. A pleasing example with bright teal and russet toning at the stars and letters and a silver-gray patina. Cleaned at one time.
2605 1806 O.119. Pointed 6. Stem Through Claw CH F $1,000.00

Very Good; 1807 O.105. Choice Fine; 1807 O.113. Capped Bust. Very Fine. The 1806 is black and white with a great deal of detail remaining, but shows a few edge nicks and bumps. The second exhibits almost Very Fine detail with lovely black and white toning; third has a lovely gray patina highlighted by faded sunset and sky blue toning. 3 pieces.
