1807 50C Bearded Goddess Large Stars 50/20 MS (PCGS# 39357)

Lot Description
Medium steel gray with golden gray highlights, evenly worn but completely unmarked to the unassisted eye. The famous and elusive <strong>Bearded Goddess</strong> variety, so named owing to a die break from Liberty's chin, here in full bloom with the break extending to her chest; another break engages the first six obverse stars. The reverse is the 50/20 variety, though&nbsp;the old-style PCGS insert does not&nbsp;recognize this popular&nbsp;<em>Guide Book </em>variety. From the first year of the new design type; the&nbsp;depiction of Liberty on this date is the writer's favorite&nbsp;bust of Liberty in the entire U.S. coinage spectrum. Pleasing for the grade and certain to draw attention when it enters the auction arena.
