    Description

    Historical Copper Draped Bust HALF
    CENT, dated 1807.  The coin is identified as KM# 33.
    The following is from the NGC site. The Half Cents dated 1807 were coined on planchets imported from Matthew Boulton & Company in England, as were all Half Cents of the Draped Bust type from 1803 onward. Only a single die pair is known for this date, and this essentially proves that the published mintage figure (476,000) is too high, as the Mint could not then achieve nearly half a million strikes from each die. Walter Breen suggested a net mintage of 38,000+ after deducting those struck in 1807 but dated 1806. This
    figure seems too small, given the general availability of circulated 1807 Half Cents, and the truth probably lies somewhere in-between the extremes.
