<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 279318, member: 8959&quot;]Here is an 1806 half dollar. This coin is not in good conditions. It has definitely been cleaned, and as i found out (after i bought it, and the dealer long gone). it was also scratched and then smoothed on both the obverse and reverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This coin also has a large cud on the top part of the shield, which i am curious about. I hope you can see this on the photo.&nbsp; Years ago i remember seeing this same variety on a Bowers &amp; Merena catalogue. They called it the &quot;Broken patch on shield&quot; variety. Unfortunately i no longer have that catalogue to reference.&nbsp; Therefore i would really appreciate it if anybody with a </p><p>Overton book could confirm if this is that variety, and whether it is a rare one. (In spite of its many problems).</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, thank you all for your comments to the various coins that i have posted. I hope i am not taxing your patience. I am learning a lot, and am now beter able to document the pieces in my colllection.&nbsp; Thanks to you.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
