The American, fatigued with his long journey, was soon asleep; but about half past three in the morning, some officious attentions from his paramour to the bosom of his shirt waked him ... Roused by this incident, he remembered also some property in his small-clothes, consisting of a purple silk purse, containing American gold coins (eagles and half-eagles) to the amount of about £35 sterling, and a valuable gold watch in his fob ... The loss of this property induced him to raise an alarm: the watchmen were called. -- The Times, London, England, October 6, 1807.A special coin, a profoundly satiny gem specimen of the last year of this avidly collected type. The surfaces retain the superb and desirable honey mustard shade of gold typical of original specimens from this era, tinged with lightest highlights of pale sea green. The devices on both sides are soundly struck and fully evoke the beauty of this design. The surfaces are free from all but the most microscopic marks and lines, and those that are present are in such small number and such minimal concentrations that scrutiny is required to determine that this coin is not entirely pristine. The only mark visible without magnification is located beneath the E of LIBERTY, closer to Libertys highest curl.Thin diagonal cracks in LIBERTY run from left of E to its top left serif, left of R to its left top serif and left of T to its left top serif, while an even more delicate crack connects Y to stars 8 through 13. The reverse is perfect. The combination of Bass-Dannreuther obverse state b and reverse state a was unknown to either author of that reference. This is the only use of a Small Reverse Stars die in 1807, making this an easily distinguished major variety.Stunningly original and supremely preserved, this coin was pronounced "a flawless example" when sold in Auction 79. Calling it "easily equal to the Bareford coin or better," the cataloger suggested at the time that this piece was "well worth in excess of the $10,500 that coin realized." It brought nearly twice that price, selling for an even $20,000 just eight months after the Bareford sale. Following its 1979 offering, this coin remained in a small private collection founded upon the notion of uncompromising quality. Dispersed in 2006, this piece has been in the D. Brent Pogue cabinet since. Since its last appearance, there have been no additional specimens graded MS-65 (or MS-65+), nor have there been other opportunities to acquire an example of this date in such remarkable grade. The finest 1807 half eagle certified by PCGS, this may be the single best survivor of the date.
