XF Detail on this 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent, unfortunate damage; having been dented as can be seen in the photos. Still, its rare to find one with this detail these days. Small 6, Stemless. While the damage reduces the price significantly, this is still a great coin for a collection.

The half-cent piece was made of 100% copper and was valued at five milles, or one two-hundredth of a dollar. It was slightly smaller than a modern U.S. quarter with diameters 22 mm (1793), 23.5 mm (1794–1836) and 23 mm (1840–1857). Coinage was discontinued by the Coinage Act of February 21, 1857.
