  I'm not sure about drapped bust varieties but this is obviously a late die state shattered die reverse, I must say I like it very much!!!

  It is the 1806 O-118a and R3 variety
  Obverse 10, Reverse N-s2
  Shattered Die Reverse.
  Reverse- Die crack through O shows a broken patch and extends across stars, another from stars across the neck, shield, arrows and to milling below the claw. Another crack from the milling above the N connects ITED at the top, crosses top of the wing, joins STAT and goes to the milling above the E
  
  
  
  
  

  Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
