I am super new to coin collecting and am requesting help.



I have this 1806 half dollar and have recently learned of Overton differences in the coins. Can anyone give me an idea on this one. I would like to have as much info as possible before I attempt to sell it.



Thank you in advance.

    Hope you realize these are terrible pics to determine

    details.



    Seems to me it looks like an O-119.



    Are there any die cracks on the coin?

    On the rev. is there a line from the top of the

    shield left side running up to the "B" in the ribbon?



    Is the right base of the F in OF missing, or very short?

    O.119 is correct. aka, T-27.



    R3 rarity, but pretty easy to find.

    It's a nice coin and not typical of what we see from newer collectors. If you don't have to sell it you might hang onto it a while.

    I have had this and about 8 other old half dollars for about 20 years...I never really thought about them much. they have always just sat in the safe. I am looking to buy some rental property and thought I might get rid of these. I sent them to get graded.



    I didn't know anything about the grading agencys or message boards and now realize this board is owned by the competitor of the place I sent them. Sorry about that, I have enjoyed reading these message boards.



    Again, thanks for being nice to me as I figure out what I am doing.

    Welcome to the forums! Don't worry about it being from the competition. What are the other dates if you don't mind me asking?

    Oh and your coin is the pointed 6 with stem if you haven't figured that part out yet

    That 1806 is in a holder that is being shipped back to me from ratings company now.





    These others are being graded in their lower tier slower less valuable ratings, I won't know how these grade for a while
