1806 Half Cent Small 6 Stemless - XF Detail, Damaged - 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent Small Six No Stems - Great Collection Addition

XF Detail on this 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent, unfortunate damage; having been dented as can be seen in the photos. Still, its rare to find one with this detail these days. Small 6, Stemless. While the damage reduces the price significantly, this is still a great coin for a collection. First authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792 on April 2, 1792, the coin was produced in the United States from 1793 to 1857. The half-cent piece was made of 100% copper and was valued at five milles, or one two-hundredth of a dollar. It was slightly smaller than a modern U.S. quarter with diameters 22 mm (1793), 23.5 mm (1794–1836) and 23 mm (1840–1857). Coinage was discontinued by the Coinage Act of February 21, 1857. They were all produced at the Philadelphia Mint. Composition: Copper Mint Location: Philadelphia Mintage: 356,000
