Design and Specifications of the 1807 Cent

The 1807 Cent, also known as the Draped Bust Large Cent, was part of the early copper coinage of the United States. This was the final year for the Draped Bust design on cents, which had been in use since 1796. The following year would see the introduction of the Classic Head design.

These coins were minted during a time of significant growth and change for the young United States, with the country expanding westward and facing international challenges, including tensions with Britain that would eventually lead to the War of 1812.

Weight 10.89 grams
Diameter 29 mm
Mint Marks None (All cents were minted in Philadelphia)
Composition 100% Copper
Obverse Design Draped Bust design, featuring Liberty facing right with flowing hair, designed by Robert Scot
Reverse Design Wreath surrounding denomination 'ONE CENT' and fraction '1/100', designed by Robert Scot

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1807 Cents. Due to their age and extensive circulation, most surviving examples show significant wear. Coins in Very Fine (VF) condition or better are highly sought after by collectors.

The quality of the strike can vary significantly, with some coins showing weakness in certain areas. Well-struck examples with full details command a premium. Original red color is extremely rare and highly valued, while attractive, even brown patina is desirable.

Philadelphia, No Mint Mark

Mintage: 829,221

Rarity Scale: Scarce

Circulation Status: Limited Circulation

Preservation Rarity: Very rare in grades above VF, extremely rare in Mint State

Varieties Errors: Large Fraction and Small Fraction varieties

Market Demand: High, due to its historical significance and scarcity in higher grades

Large Fraction and Small Fraction varieties exist for this year, with the Large Fraction being scarcer and more valuable. Die states and die cracks can also affect value, with some collectors specializing in these variations.

The historical significance of this coin as the last year of the Draped Bust design adds to its appeal and value. Additionally, provenance can play a role in value, with coins from famous collections or with a documented history often commanding a premium.
