Well I let that silver go and got my 1806 draped bust half cent for my type set grade ex-fine.It was hard for me at first to let it go but I could not be any happier she looks beautiful in her new home. Will show pictures after christmas when I have my new camera Bruce "THE FRANK GROUP"
Bruce: You will probably be both happy & sad about the transaction, but, whenever you think that you may have made a mistake, look at the draped bust 1/2 cent!!!! Good move.
Mike, Thanks my set is no where near the set you have but I am working on it I just love draped bust coins and this is my first. Bruce "THE FRANK GROUP"
Ah, nice! Which 1806 half cent is it? There are four varieties for that year, unless my memory fails. One large 6, and three small 6. The large 6 is common, the smalls are varying degrees of slightly-to-ridiculously-less-common. Heck, and there are even some decently uncommon die states for the more common varieties. Pics pics pics pics pics! Good, high-res ones if you can manage. Fish
Fish, I think there are only three, small 6 stems , small 6, stemless , and large 6 stems mine is small 6 but I have not found a picture of the stems and stemless to compare it with coinfacts and the red book don't have it either do you know where I can get a picture of the two kinds side by side ?
