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.
