My short after work hunt paid off - 1806 Draped Bust 1/2 Cent. In rough shape but my first 1/2 cent so I'm thrilled.
Looks like a 1806 to you guys as well? It was that or an 1805, but looks like a 6 to me.

That is an incredible find! I have never found any Draped Bust coin, nor any half cent for that matter. I'm not sure about the date, could be 1805 or 1806.
