Description

1807 S-271 Cent, MS61 Brown
Popular Comet Variety

1807 1C Comet MS61 Brown NGC. S-271, B-1, R.1. Breen Die State VI. A rather late die state with the Comet die flaw prominent above the hair ribbon. Other die flaws, clash marks, bulges, and cracks are also present on this lovely specimen. The Comet cent is one of few die states (rather than varieties) to have a separate Guide Book listing. The earliest die states, before the Comet develops, are sometimes called "Eclipsed Comet" coins and are also popular with collectors.
This lustrous dark chocolate and mahogany specimen has a few splashes of lighter tan that is faded from original red mint color. The surfaces have just a few marks that are mostly on the reverse. Our EAC grade AU50. Census: 1 in 61 Brown, 3 finer (12/11).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1531, Greysheet# 837)

Weight: 13.48 grams
