1807 Draped Bust - O.105a, T.4 R.4 PCGS AU 58+ CAC
This is a showpiece coin with unfettered, blinding luster – the sort seen on Franklin half-dollars, not a 209 year old draped bust half. Though a later die state, all design elements are well defined, including the eagle’s breast feathers. Some striking softness appears in the left wing. The surfaces are immaculate. You will find it a challenge to locate even a trace of friction on this remarkable coin. Registry set, date and type collectors will look far and wide to locate a more desirable 1807. Expect serious competition! Est. $6,000 to $8,000.
