Notes:
1907-O is the poorest struck coin in the series. Some coins
have "mumps," some with small depressions in the cheek (see 1904-O),
others are simply distorted. The poorest strikes in the series belong to the
1904-O, 1906-O,
1907-O and 1909-O.
Of these, the 1906-O and 1909-O
come more softly struck as a rule, but not with the striking abnormalities
of the 1907-O."1
The finest Uncirculated examples graded by
PCGS are 2 MS-67's.
