Lot Description

1807/6 Draped Bust Cent. S-272. Rarity-5+. Small 7, Blunt 1. VG-10 (PCGS). OGH. Deep golden brown with chocolate highlights. Low magnification reveals innumerable obverse ticks and some horizontal scratches across Liberty's cheek, the reverse somewhat rough with black scale in places. The sharpness is ideally suited to the assigned grade. The rarest of the two overdates for the year, and a date that is eagerly sought by specialists in the discipline. Finer in-hand than our description supposes, but the bidders will be the ultimate judges. A more than suitable filler of this rarity.
