1806 DRAPED BUST HALF DOLLAR — NGC AU53

A strong, eye-appealing early half dollar that shows the kind of originality collectors chase. The coin retains bold remaining detail in Liberty’s curls, drapery, and the eagle’s wings, with only light, honest wear that fits AU53 perfectly. Surfaces are clean for the type, displaying a natural old-silver patina that gives the piece a rich, historic look. This is a standout early U.S. half—problem-free, attractive, and exactly the kind of certified example buyers compete for in auction settings. Cert No. 6969449-001
