1806 Pt. 6 with stem -  O.116 R.3 PCGS AU 58

An especially pretty example of the type.  Intense, iridescent rainbow colors envelop stars 1-8, the adjoining fields and Liberty’s curls.  The lustrous reverse is largely untoned.  Obverse and reverse die breaks are well advanced, adding character to this beguiling remnant of the early Mint.  The lower left wing is soft, indicative of the late die state, while the upper wing feathers, Liberty’s lower curls and drapery lines are razor sharp.  Est. $7,500 to $8,000.
