Design and Specifications of the 1806 Half Dollar
The 1806 Half Dollar is part of the Draped Bust series, which was produced from 1796 to 1807. This coin represents an important period in early American coinage, as it was minted during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. The Draped Bust design was a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Flowing Hair design, and was well-received by the public.
Half dollars were crucial in commerce during this era, as they were one of the primary silver coins in circulation. The 1806 issue is particularly notable for its relatively high mintage compared to previous years, reflecting the growing demand for coinage in the expanding American economy.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of an 1806 Half Dollar has a significant impact on its value. Due to its age and extensive circulation, high-grade examples are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. Coins in Extremely Fine (XF) to About Uncirculated (AU) condition command substantial premiums, while those in Mint State (MS) grades are exceptionally valuable.
Factors such as strike quality, luster, and original surfaces play crucial roles in determining the coin’s desirability. Specimens with minimal contact marks and strong design details are particularly prized. The presence of original toning can also enhance the coin’s appeal and value to collectors.
