toning on a base of medium old-silver gray. Well struck stars all have
long sharp points. In date, the 180 is large, the 7 small. This is
the last year of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle type. Some call it the
"Fillet head" style. The estimated mintage of 301,076 coins was
accomplished using seven obverse dies and six reverse dies which produced
ten different die marriages or varieties. New dies for the obverse and
reverse were put into service in the latter part of 1807. This draped bust
style was first used in 1796."
