Here's one of my 1807 Large 7 over 6 Draped Bust Cents. This one took a hit on the obverse some time in it's 212 year history, but it's still an interesting coin.

This coin was struck with the Large 7 die, but you can also find the 7 over 6 struck with a small 7 die. The difference can be easily seen with a sharp point to the top of the 1 and the bottom of 7 drops just past the bottom loop of the 6. The small 7 strikes have a blunt top to the 1 and the bottom of the 7 stops at the bottom loop of the 6.

The small 7 cent is the rarest of the two with the value of around $2100 in G-4 condition. The Large 7 coins are valued at around $140 in the same G-4 condition. (Prices from NumisMedia)

IMO, it's a Beauty! Very nice overdate and a nice piece of history as well. Congrats!

The S-273 large 7 over 6 is one of my favorite overdates in the large cents, a very clear overdate that is not rare or expensive. Next best is probably S-196 1800/179, another very clear and common overdate. In the middle dates I like 1820/19 N-1 another common but bold overdate.

S-196 Images are from the Dan Holmes collection, my examples are nowhere near as nice.

1820 N-1 This is a late die state where much of the repunching on the 18 is gone but the 1 under the 2 still shows clearly.

CoinHunter27, Thanks! I think it's nice looking too, despite the ding. I may keep this one for a while.

Conder101, Thanks for the sharing the images! I love the bold overdates, but I can't afford them! I've had my coin for 20 years or so. This is one I sold. I think it may have had a little verdigris problem. I hope the new owner was able to take care of it.
