1806 Half Cent (Small 6 No Steam)

Can you enlarge those pics for us, please.

Thanks. Are you talking about those apparent pockmarks behind the eye, or...?

I'd grade this coin no better than VF-20. The dents would almost certainly "detail" a high-grade piece but at this level it might straight-grade.
On the plus side, the dents aren't that distracting and the surfaces are smooth and corrosion-free.

I think it would straight grade but definitely not AU.
I, like the others, see it as VF, but maybe 25 or 30.

In so far as the pockmarks it would definitely detail out and knock it down from a full retail PCGS price of $220 at a 20 grade which is usually nearly half of what you could expect to get on ebay etc.

Personally, I have a minimum target sales price of $130 before I TPG grade any coin after factoring in TPG shipping/insurance(round-trip), TPG submission form fees and my time to do all of that.

I would just sell it at a trade show or on ebay as it is and be done with it. It's a borderline TPG coin and unlikely to get you a respectable profit per my personal parameters.

IMO

often time the way coins look via pictures or even worse scans can be deceptive. I highly recommend acquiring graded/slabbed coins. Many times you can find reasonably price graded coins even for these early Half Cent issues.
