***Auction Highlight*** 1806 BD-6 Gold Draped Bust Half Eagle 5 Graded au53 Details By SEGS. The 1806 Capped Bust Right eagle is known in six different die varieties. This still-attractive specimen is lightly worn and lightly abraded, with pleasing lemon-yellow surfaces that show a few marks on the obverse. Possibly planchet flaws. This coin represents the popular BD-6 variety, easily identified by the Round Top 6 in the date and the arrangement of the obverse stars in a 7x6 array (all the other varieties have a Pointed 6 and stars arranged 8x5). The BD-6 has a surviving population of 600-900 examples in all grades, making it a favorite choice of type collectors. The durable BD-6 die pair probably struck 35,000-50,000 examples of the large reported mintage. This was the only use of the obverse die, but the reverse was used previously to strike the BD-5 variety of this date. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
