My birthday present to me. New Half Cents.

I finally got a decent 1806 Small 6 with Stems Draped Bust Half Cent along with a fair 1808/7 Draped Bust Half Cent. I am happy as I have purchased 2 other 06 sm6 w/stems that turned out not to be so. I truly like this 06 and am glad to place it in my Meghrig Album. Let me know what you think.

    Tough coins. I like the late die state on the 1808/7. Congrats!

    edit note: Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you have a lovely day (and it looks like it is off to a good start).

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    Already a great day, thank you. Hard to find an affordable 06 sm6wstems that still has character. The reason I got the 08/7 was the flash diagnostic being in the stage 4 or later. When I can glance at a coin and see a key diagnostic(suchas the 11 berry 03 C-4 or the 04 C-9) it pretty much locks and grabs my attention.
