1807 Draped Bust Half Cent C-1 1/2C NGC AU58BN

1807 C-1, B-1, R.1, AU58 NGC. Our EAC grade AU55. 85.8 grains. Breen Die State III. Manley Die State 2.0. Fuhrman Die State 4. The fields are rough due to die wear and the border details are mostly absent on this piece, the usual die state of 1807 half cents. Called Uncirculated in its 1975 auction appearance. This piece shows only a trace of wear on the highest design points, including Liberty's cheek and shoulder. A few areas of tan are faded from original mint red. Nearly full cartwheel luster is present on the bluish-brown surfaces.
Ex: C. Douglas Smith; Garry Fitzgerald (4/9/1967); Stack's (5/1975), lot 524; Donald G. Partrick.
