1807 Draped Bust Half Cent PCGS VF-30

They say good things come in 3's.
This is my third recently purchased coin, and for me it's good.
Once again I have to ID the Cohen variety.

Variety identification won't be hard, there is only one variety that year.

 

The only question is, is the early or late die state? In this case it’s the more common late one.

 

Very pleasing appeal. Not dark like most.

 

Finally got around to ID'ing the Cohen number.
Yep, that was easy.

 

The picture has been a bear to get. I wish I had a photo of this when it was raw, but here is the 1807 early die state half cent. You will know that has some rims showing. The dies were not lined up properaly in the press when this was struck. The obverse die mounted too high on the lower right side which emphasized the dentiles. This die state is thought to be scarce and brings a premium price.
