The semi-prooflike surfaces are bathed in resplendent shades of blue, gold and electric cobalt. Color enthusiasts will find the coin irresistible. High rims and crisp dentils frame this stunning 1807. The obverse strike is well above par for the issue: all 13 stars retain their center points. The reverse displays weakness in the usual areas - the eagle’s head, neck and top of left wing. The coin brought $6,462 when offered in Legend’s September 2016 sale, lot 317. A prize for the collector who has patiently waited for the right coin to fill that niche in his or her set of 1807s.
