Had a short day at work and decided to hit my dredge sand beach that keeps on giving. No joke first signal! When I got back to the truck I could see something was up. Looked like she had an extra ribbon in her hair and the last number on a clean date was hard to read? Looked in the red book and turns out I dug a draped bust with a die error! When looking with a loop I can see that it’s a 7 over 6 (hard to get a good pic) EDBB7C06-68C0-4847-897A-BC8A7AA074F5.jpeg B47ABDB5-820E-4ACD-89C5-31BD347BB2E7.jpeg 797BF2E0-383C-4A02-A016-F4C2B6273542.jpeg C10F33FF-B27D-4E9A-A299-963C7FE865B5.jpeg on the last number of the date so cool! Hoping someone can look at that 1 in the date and say it’s a blunt like I think it is. If so it would make this a very desirable coin! Iv been wrong before but hope I’m not today. So calling all coin wizards tell me what you think!

It took me a really long time to locate a nice 1807 Comet.... from a coin dealer, mind you, not from the ground! I rarely saw them at coin shows even 15-20 years ago, just because they are so popular with collectors. I've never seen one dug before, personally, so congrats!
