Here's my latest purchase an 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar pointed 6 and stem through claw. There's a huge die crack through the date and on to star 5.

There are so many die combinations in this year but I think it is O-117 R4. Can anyone confirm that?

Also, any opinions on grade? The reverse looks better than the obverse and sometimes it's a weak strike but I think I can actually feel that the worn area is higher.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Sorry, the color is off on the obverse - it looks like the reverse.

I agree with the O-117. I think the poin of leaf to right of base of I confirms it. Grade G6 imo.

Definitely Rev. M - point of beak buried in upper side of star point, AM touch and ME nearly do. Only other use of Rev. M is on O-121 and diagnostics don't match Obv. 10-s3.

Also agree with amida on the G-6. Nice die crack.

G-6 looks about right.
