1807 Draped Bust Half DollarSold
About This Coin
The 1807 Draped Bust half dollar represents the final chapter of Robert Scot’s classic design. As the last year of the series before the transition to John Reich's Capped Bust motif, this issue captures a pivotal moment in the early United States Mint's history. These large silver coins were the workhorses of domestic commerce, heavily utilized and rarely preserved with care.
In Fine 15, this example displays the honest, even wear of a coin that saw genuine duty in the young republic. At this grade level, the central details remain defined, offering a clear view of Liberty's profile and the heraldic eagle on the reverse. The CACG certification ensures the coin's overall integrity for the assigned grade.
For the collector of early American silver, a late-date Draped Bust half dollar is an essential touchstone. It is a handsome, historically significant survivor that represents the end of an era in federal coinage.
