1807 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS63+ Brown
Late Die State

1807 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS63+ Brown PCGS. CAC. Fuhrman Die State 4. The majority of 1807 half cents are from this late die state. The obverse die is new and used only for this one variety that is the only 1807-dated die pair. The reverse was previously used for the plentiful 1806 C-4 half cent. While the 1807 half cent ranks among the more plentiful Draped Bust varieties across all grades, this variety is scarce in better Mint State grades. PCGS has certified 468 Draped Bust half cents in MS63 or finer grades, including just 10 of 1807. Only the 1808 (9) and the 1802 (0) have lower populations in those top grades. This splendid Select Mint State piece has full cartwheel luster on its chocolate-brown surfaces that show splashes of blue-steel toning. The design elements are a trifle weak in places, due solely to the late die state. Population: 7 in 63 (2 in 63+) Brown, 3 finer (11/23).
Ex: James R. McGuigan (2013); Bruce Gimelson.
