O-101. A wholly CHOICE specimen of this first overdate in the Capped Bust series. It is clearly evident that the collector of the Konstantine Set liked late die states. This coin was sharply struck from a pair of broken dies. The obverse has a number of bold die breaks that encircle the stars on the left, connecting the drapery folds in the front of the bust, clearing into the field and connecting the bases of the date. A second crack forks off the inner star point of Star 3 down into Liberty's bust. A third die crack links the right stars from 9 to 13, connecting to a fourth that comes out from the rim to the lower curl. The dies by this point had also clashed multiple times. A strong, satin luster glows from all over offering a splendid silver vivacity to the fields, accenting the sharply struck devices. While the surfaces are essentially untoned, there is a delicate blush of gold and iridescent blue hues that cling to the peripheral areas of the design imparting a wonderful look! Using a strong glass there is only a tiny minor graze or two, but the eye appeal is unmarred by this, and boasts a way above average visual allure. PCGS 8, NGC 0. Prior to the last one selling in the 2018 FUN auction for $10,800, a PCGS/CAC example sold in the August 2016 sale of the Hamilton Collection for $12,925. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $11,000. RARE any finer, with just a dozen examples having been graded finer at PCGS, the MS66 Pogue coin is finest. An important opportunity to acquire a near Condition Census level 1808/7. Good luck! Cert. Number 02232032 PCGS # 6091
