<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1502119, member: 24544&quot;]Looks real to me.&nbsp; There is only one variety for 1807 and while I don&#039;t have the half cent attribution guides I compared your coin to one from auction and it looks good.&nbsp;&nbsp; The position of LIBERTY in relation to the hair matches, the leaf position in relation to the letters match on the reverse.&nbsp; The lack of a berry next to the E in ONE is correct.&nbsp; Like I said, I am not exactly sure what the specific attribution points are for this variety, but all the general ones I see look good.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Doug points out, they were very accurate with the gold and silver coins, and less so with copper.&nbsp; Most of the fakes I have seen and heard about tend to be overweight in the area of 10% or more, so if your half cent weighed 5.9 grams I would be suspicious that it was a fake.&nbsp; I have a link to an auction below, that auction also has a couple draped bust half cents in the weight rang of 86 grains or about 5.57 grams, like the 1804 C-11, so the weight of your coin is not unheard of at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link to the 1807 i was comparing yours too:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=1&amp;sale=65&amp;lot=62" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=1&amp;sale=65&amp;lot=62" rel="nofollow">http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=1&amp;sale=65&amp;lot=62</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: After all that I forgot to say nice coin!&nbsp; Looks like pretty good detail and a decent surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
