<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2082721, member: 42034&quot;]I have a DB &#039;06 half, which I bought as an AU (ca. 1982 - 84) for $850.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been told that the coin was probably dipped long ago but such was the case for many early US coins.&nbsp; A Coin World article from the 80&#039;s said that this was common and not too much of a problem as long as the coin is attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I&#039;ve been told by people looking at the pictures that the coin probably won&#039;t slab due to the old cleaning and as such it&#039;s pretty worthless.&nbsp; I wonder about the big change in grading standards and what happened to all those old Bust coins that were attractive with an old dipping.&nbsp; Note that this coin has NO hairlines nor scratches.&nbsp; The only problem it has is the color.&nbsp; I guess it&#039;s still worth just $850?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did show it to one dealer at a coin show about 5 yrs ago and he simply said it was a very nice &amp; impressive coin.&nbsp; He did&#039;nt see any problems but then he wasn&#039;t one of these high end guys like Heritage Inc.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_coin/USA_50c_1806_both.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
