I finally pulled the trigger on one. I like this coin, and believe it to be properly graded. Will comment more later.

It certainly has the right look Dave. I am going to say O-112, VF-35.

One of my favorite dates.

Very nice coin!

Only negative I see is the rim ding above Miss Liberty's cap. It also shows on the reverse, so it is not just the edge lettering spilling over. 1807s are always nice to own.

Agree with the above.

These 1807 are getting tougher and tougher to find nice

[MikeKing]

you landed a nice one, Dave

Wow! I like the look of that coin quite a bit!

This coin is the popular O-112 50/inverted 5 variety. This one is housed in an NGC XF-40 holder. The coin appears to have 30-40% of its remaining luster, so I believe it to be properly graded. The coin appears to have had an extended stay in an envelope and may or may not have had a dip in the past. The ding at 12:30 may or may not be a ding. Would need to free the coin from its tomb to inspect it. The metal at that point looks a little malformed rather than misshapen from a bad hit. But the holder hides the truth of it all.

 

This is a coin that is growing on me. I am really happy with this one, and I appreciate all of your comments and appreciation.
