    I was going to answer, "U.S. Grant", but that option was oddly not available. ;)

    (Actually, I like the 1806. While the 1826 could be 100% original....it just feels "too white" for what I'm used to.

    I agree with this! But the "yes or no" has me scratching my balding head!

    You have a lot of explaining to do...

    I'll pick the 1806 as it is possibly a very rare and recently discovered coin. Far, pointed "6" and missing bottom serifs "I" and "T."

    I like B better.
    I always struggle with shiny silver that is almost two centuries old. You'd think there would be some toning.

    I like the 1826 CBH better (coin A).

    Not sure if that is a yes or a no.

    I voted "yes," but I'm not sure which coin that is.

    @topstuf asked:

    What is its Overton number?

    Overton wrote a book with images of the different dies used for Early Half dollars 1794 - 1836.

    Interesting sidebar. John said when he did the die studies, Capped Bust Halves averaged 85 cents each. Up to a buck and a half. :o

    Perhaps someone that asked about Overton quoted a post you wrote and I missed who the actual poster was who asked the question. I couldn't believe you never heard of Overton! Anyway, It is gone now.

    PS In my reply to the offending "phantom" post, I identified who Overton was,

    May I request that you attribute your 1806 50C for me. Thanks!

    That's short and sweet. :) LOL! It's no wonder I COULD NOT attribute it! I thought you had found a rare, unlisted "discovery coin." I'm shocked at how closely its design resembled several Overton 50c obverses.
