Lot Description

1807 Draped Bust Cent. S-276. Rarity-1. Large Fraction. AU-55 BN (NGC). This handsome piece is toned in a blend of antique copper, crimson red and golden-brown, the reverse the more boldly colored of the two sides. Overall sharply defined with satiny surfaces that are smooth and inviting in hand. The reverse is rotated just 45 degrees or so clockwise from medallic alignment. Sheldon-276 is one of just two die marriages of the 1807 cent that corresponds to the Large Fraction Guide Bookvariety, making it popular with collectors.

Collector envelope with attribution and provenance notes included. PCGS# 36451. NGC ID: 224M. Click here for certification details from NGC.
