1807/6 Draped Bust Large Cent S-273 Large 7 ANACS FR-02 Details Scarce Overdate Variety

1807/6 Draped Bust Large Cent, attributed to Sheldon-273, featuring the desirable Large 7 overdate variety. This early U.S. copper issue showcases the classic Draped Bust design, struck during the formative years of the United States Mint. This coin represents an affordable entry point into early American large cent collecting, particularly for those seeking a recognized Sheldon variety without the premium of higher-grade examples. This example has been authenticated and graded FR-02 Details by ANACS, confirming its originality and attribution. While heavily worn, the coin retains enough detail to clearly identify the overdate feature, a key characteristic that adds strong collector appeal. The surfaces show honest circulation consistent with the assigned grade, with visible date and major design elements. As is typical for a coin of this age and grade, there may be surface issues noted by ANACS under the “Details” designation, but the piece remains a solid and collectible example of this scarce early variety.
