Additional Description: The 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar with the Pointed Six and No Stem reverse captures a transitional moment in early U.S. minting, when subtle engraving changes reflected broader shifts in production. This variety is distinguished by its sharply formed numeral 6 and the absence of stems on the olive branch, small but telling details valued by specialists. The coin, while retaining strong detail consistent with Very Fine to Extremely Fine wear, has been heavily cleaned
