- Exceptional 1807 S-276 Draped Bust Cent
1807 Draped Bust Cent. S-276. Rarity-1. Large Fraction. MS-63 BN (PCGS). CAC.
This overall sharply struck 1807 cent displays considerable gloss to hard, satiny surfaces. The left portion of the wreath on the reverse is softly defined, as typical for this variety. The borders are fully denticulated around both sides, the reverse rotated nearly 90 degrees counterclockwise from normal coin alignment with the letter D in UNITED opposite the letter E in LIBERTY on the obverse. Several minor marks are scattered about, including a concentration of tiny nicks along the top of Liberty's drapery, although the overall appearance is quite smooth as reflected by the assigned grade. Marbled medium brown, sandy-tan and copper-rose patina is seen on both sides and adds to the appeal of this handsome piece. Breen Die State I.
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 EF-40 and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census, which includes only 10 examples in AU or higher grades.
