The O.104 was the key to completing a die variety set of draped bust 1807s until the 1807 O.115 (4 known) was discovered in 2004. The two rarities share a reverse die. This CAC-approved specimen probably lies at the 5th position in the Condition Census. The softly impressed portrait is typical, a signpost in fact, of the die pair. (Compare the PCGS CoinFacts and Overton plate coins.) This handsome piece is from an early state of the dies. It features pleasing surfaces and natural, antique grey toning. PCGS Price Guide suggests $3,500 in this grade. A private acquisition from your cataloger in January 2013.
