Description: The 1806/5 Draped Bust Half Dollar, Large Stars variety, is a fascinating overdate for early American coin enthusiasts. The overdate variety occurred when 1805-dated dies were repurposed for the 1806 issue, showcasing the resourcefulness of early U.S. mints. This variety is particularly desirable because it captures a tangible piece of minting history with the distinct overdate. This coin, graded VF25 by CACG, offers strong eye appeal for its grade. The coin retains ample detail, with Liberty's profile and the eagle's feathers still well-defined. The surfaces exhibit an honest wear with a pleasant, even patina. Free from any major marks or distractions, this coin is a solid example of early U.S. mint craftsmanship. There are a few series in which CAC's standards are _really_ tough. Draped Bust coinage is one of them. CAC is extremely stringent about originality and any signs of old cleanings or other modifications. And since so many of the coins have had stuff done to them, you just don't see a ton of CAC Draped Bust coins, and the ones you do command significant premiums.
