1807 Half Dollar, O-110a, Well-Struck MS63
High-Mintage Issue, Popular Type Coin

1807 50C Draped Bust MS63 PCGS. O-110a, R.2. The lustrous silver-gray surfaces of this Select half dollar display whispers of russet and light brown around the borders. Strong design detail is apparent on the devices, including Liberty's hair strands, the obverse star centers, the eagle's feathers, all letters in the motto, and the shield.

Variety: O-110a, R.2. The olive branch has five berries, all with stems. The obverse shows peripheral cracks, and a reverse crack runs through the top of STATES and then down to the second last cloud.

Population (5/14): PCGS has graded 16 coins MS63 and 20 finer; NGC has seen 12 in MS63 and 26 finer.

Heritage Commentary: This is the last year of the Draped Bust half dollar design type. The estimated mintage exceeding 300,000 pieces and relatively high survival rate make the 1807 a popular type coin. Ten of the 11 varieties of the 1807 are scarce to very scarce; only O-101 is rare.
