1807 Draped Bust Type And Value?

The bottom part of the 6 is fairly obvious on that variety...


I blew up your pic and could not see any indication of it being the over date. Hopefully some other members will be able to confirm or tell me I am blind. LOL

Well it is definitely Rev A (S-271,272, and 273)
And the upright of the 1 is too far away from the curl to be 271 or 272. So it is S273 the large 7/6 overdate.

I do have a tendency to just start seeing that are just not there, especially when someone mentions an error or variety of a coin. I have a rainbow toned Shield nickel that was mixed in a lot of 200 V nickels that appeared to be 1879. After doing a high resolution scan I can obviously see it is a 1870 with part of the 0 worn off and a smudge across the 0 making it look like a 9. This may have been intentionally done to forge a key date. I wanted to list it on ebay but think I will just keep it instead of concerning myself whether it was really a 1879 or not when I sell it for $5-$10. This large cent coin though doesn't really have much of a commission over other varieties really.

See, conder dropped the 200 bucks on the type books for the large cents, so no fair. LOL

Something told me there would be other diagnostics I did not know.

I know what you mean, people often add other diagnostics whether correct or not or even asked. I know it is dark but don't see any major surface issue. I think the dark color makes seeing the 7/6 hard to see just like that weird toning on that shield makes the date hard to see.

He means that the book that Conder Bought cost $200, not that the coin is worth that

Yes, often times there are several diagnostic characteristics aside from the main variety type. Differing die cracks or spacing of numbers or serifs or any number of other things that can confirm the variety. Being able to find those other things out can also help you weed out fakes. A 37D 3 leg Buffalo nickel for example, has a couple other things that are unique to that coin and are diagnostics.

And yeah, the 200 bucks is the cost of the two volume book listing all the types of the large cents.

I am not sure of the "details" and if that would be the grade but you are probably right. I know this coin does not look like it had been altered at least in a long time and it is at its last toning stage black. At this stage though the toning becomes corrosion. People and grading services are more forgiving of a coin this age. I think you are right about the worth though. I tried to list it on ebay for more with no hits. If I listed it for amount a little less than thirty, it would sell.
