1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem VF25 认证号13600780, PCGS号6071

The 1806 Pointed 6, Stems Half Dollar is one of the more common major types of the year.  Nineteen different Overton varieties, plus their die states, comprise the entire mintage of this major variety.  As such, collectors have many opportunities to acquire an example in a wide range of grades, including Mint State (PCGS has certified more Mint State examples of this type than any other -- by far).  The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census starts at MS64+ and goes up from there.  The record price for this date was achieved by the Garrett coin when it reappeared at auction in 2015 and sold (as a PCGS MS66) for $182,125.  However, there is an even better example "out there" -- a PCGS MS67 that has yet to come to market.  That coin is the single finest Draped Bust Half Dollar in existence.
