1807/6 Draped Bust Cent. S-272. Rarity-4+. Small 7, Blunt 1. Fair-2 (PCGS). A key variety for both <em>Guide Book</em> and Sheldon collectors. The 1807/6 small overdate is well known for being as condition sensitive as it is elusive. The offered specimen has much to recommend despite its low grade. The surfaces are above average, a smooth steel-brown with just some minor scratches on the face and reverse rim. The legends are worn but the all-important date is completely visible. A charming piece that will appeal to many collectors lacking this variety. PCGS# 36439. NGC ID: 224N. Ex Jack Beymer; Superiors sale of the Roger S. Cohen, Jr. Collection, February 1992 Sale, lot 1032; our sale of the Bill Woytasek Collection, March 2021 Auction, lot 8640.
