Early Half Eagles
1807 $5 Bust Right, BD-4, High R.4 -- Cleaning -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/a. The Capped Bust Right design was retired in 1807, but not before a nominal mintage of 32,488 pieces was struck, with six die varieties for the date and type. The BD-4 variety has a surviving population of 75-90 examples in all grades and probably accounted for 5,000-7,500 pieces of the reported mintage. This lightly worn and lightly abraded specimen shows a few faint adjustment marks in Liberty's hair. The luster is somewhat muted by the noted cleaning.
