1807 with JSM counterstamp.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. J.S. MILLER is a known counterstamp, but shown here are only the initials "J.S.M." (or possibly I.S.M.). The host 1807 draped-bust half-dollar grades near Fine... |

|
1807 (O-101, R.5) VF/cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Plentiful hairlines crisscross within the fields, yet some patina has managed to recover throughout, slightly mollifying the offensive aspects of cleaning. ... |

| 559 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $725.00 |
|
1807 (O-102) VF.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. The obverse die created only a shallow impression, but the placement of strong details on the reverse suggest an overall grade of VF-35. Identification of... |
|
| 560 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $550.00 |
|
1807 (O-103) VF/cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Enticing luster readily emanates from the outer areas despite the "cleaned" disclaimer, and this ought to be a lock for VF-35 details, which incidentally is how... |
|
| 561 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $975.00 |
|
1807 (O-105) VF.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. VF-30 seems to be a good indicator of lengthy delineation of Liberty's tresses, and strongly sculpted feathers within the eagle's wings. The tail shows unusually... |
|
| 562 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $160.00 |
|
1807 (O-105a) F/cleaned/scratched.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. One brief hairline scratch at the lower left curls, and a couple of hairlines near the bow account for the "scratched" disclaimer for the obverse, while a couple... |
|
| 563 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $230.00 |
|
1807 (O-105a, R.4) F.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. General appearance is that of a low-contrast early half, and each side does show some thin hairlining that suggests cleaning. Medium-grey now, the obverse shows a... |
|
| 564 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $230.00 |
|
1807 (O-106) F/cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Strongly detailed for the Fine level, such that F-15+ could be about right for details-only. The appearance isn't as bad as one might expect given the "cleaned"... |
|
| 565 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $600.00 |
|
1807 (O-106) XF/polished.
|
|

|
1807 (O-107) F.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. The consignor called this Fine at one point, then later changed his assessment to VF. F-15 seems to be an appropriate compromise, given that the die-marriage was... |
|
| 567 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $825.00 |
|
1807 (O-108) VF.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Softly glowing undertones suggest an old, old dip but the low-contrast visual appeal remains compatible with a VF-35 grade estimate. Tasteful frosty texture... |
|
| 568 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $180.00 |
|
1807 (O-109a) VG/cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Given this half-dollar has only VG details, it's odd that someone would choose to clean it ("See? Looks unc now!") as the process did leave behind some charcoal... |
|
| 569 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $255.00 |
|
1807 (O-109a) VF/polished.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Whether heavily cleaned or just outright polished, either way the finer details have been smoothed down, giving the entire coin an unnatural glossy appearance. ... |
|
| 570 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $975.00 |
|
1807 (O-110) XF/harshly cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Whizzing, or some other wire-brush process has created a granular appearance that has since recovered odd, mottled drab toning throughout both sides. Pinpoint... |
|
| 571 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $500.00 |
|
1807 (O-110a) XF/corroded.
|
|

|
| 820 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $5,000.00 |
|
1807 (O-110a, R.2) ANACS MS-61.
|
|
As a very late die-state of O-110, the reverse features a thin die crack that arcs downward from the second "S" in STATES, as well as clashing in the same vicinity. Details are surprisingly sharp for... |

|
1807 (O-103, R-3) PCGS XF-40.
|
|
Overall flatness of detail and appearance should not be mistaken for wear from circulation, since O-103 was always struck in shallow relief. Indeed, it may be a mild surprise that PCGS assigned a... |

1807 (O-106, R.3) VF.

1807 O-110a VF-30.
