Category: Draped Bust Half Cents (1800-1808) Mint: Philadelphia Mintage: 356,000 Obverse Designer: Robert Scot Reverse Designer: Robert Scot Composition: Copper Weight: 5.44g Diameter: 23.5mm Edge: Plain The 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent is an extremely attractive coin and is desired by collectors of all types. Because the coin was produced such a long time ago, it should come as no surprise that there are only a few remaining on the market today. Understanding this, there has, quite literally, never been a better time to get your hands on one. On the obverse side of the coin, the central image is that of a rightward-facing Lady Liberty. Lady Liberty is depicted in stunning detail such that even some of the individual strands of hair can be discerned with the naked eye. Above the central image you will notice that there is an inscription which reads βLiberty.β Below the central image there is an inscription marking the 1806 year of minting. On the extreme outer edges of the coin you will notice raised notches. These give the coin a bit more texture and personality. On the reverse side of the Half Cent, the center is marked by an inscription which indicates the βHalf Centβ face value. Partially surrounding the face value inscription is the image of a wreath; a wreath bound together by a simple bow. Beneath the bow there is an inscription which reads β1/200,β or the value of the Half Cent relative to a whole dollar. On the outside of the wreath there is an inscription which reads βUnited States of America.β Grading the 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent When it comes to collecting the 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent, things are not as simple as they might seem.
