    So a while back I purchased an 1806 half dollar. It was listed as O-116, but upon arrival I attributed to O-115A. Thought I would see what others think of the attribution. I went with O-115 simply because of the leaf to I placement on reverse - O-116 it is slightly left past center this one looks centered. Then O-115A because of the crack at top of states on reverse. I did not think O-116 because of leaf to I location and some cracks listed on 116 are not present. What say ye?

    I would guess Choice 45 based on these pictures and the amount of detail I see. In hand, where you can tilt the coin and see the amount of luster? Could grade quite a bit higher. my call on it anyway. James

    You nailed it on first shot. It is XF-45, but can still see some luster hidden in the devices around the coin. I paid a bit more than XF money and to me it was worth it.
