Exceptional 1807 S-276 Draped Bust Cent 1807 Draped Bust Cent. S-276. Rarity-1. Large Fraction. MS-63 BN (PCGS). This lovely 1807 cent displays plenty of gloss to hard, satiny surfaces. The right reverse periphery is a tad soft, hardly worth mentioning, especially since the balance of the coin is sharply to fully defined. The borders are near-fully denticulated around both sides, the reverse rotated nearly 180 degrees with virtually medallic alignment. There are no marks or other blemishes of note, the in hand appearance impressively smooth and highly attractive. Marbled medium brown, sandy-tan and copper-rose patina adorns the reverse, while the obverse is uniform copper-rose. Breen Die State III. Sheldon-276 may very well be the most available variety in the Draped Bust cent series. Even so, the present example is clearly something special given its superior surface preservation and eye appeal. It is graded EAC AU-55 and tied for CC#4 in the 2015 Noyes census.
