The 1807 represents the final year of Draped Bust half dollar coinage, supplanted later in the year by the new Capped Bust series. The 1807 was produced in large enough numbers that pleasing specimens can be obtained today in lower grades without much difficulty. In Mint State the date is elusive; in Gem Uncirculated, the date is a rarity to be reckoned with. Indeed, we can't help but wonder if the number of grading events for the date at MS-65 might represent one or more resubmissions of the same coin.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the Larry H. Miller Collection, where it realized $55,200.
