Early Half Eagles
1807 $5 Bust Left, BD-8, R.2, MS61 PCGS. CAC. Among the most readily available of all early gold coins regardless of denomination, the 1807 Draped Bust To Left design remains in-demand as an example of the short-lived John Reich design. This is a frosty and and lustrous, olive-gold example with deep-orange accents and terrific eye appeal. The 1807 BD-8 variety represents more than 90% of the surviving mintage of 51,605 pieces -- approximately 500 to 750 pieces exist in all grades.
Recognized by CAC for its sharp strike and overall surface quality, only minor imperfections are visible including a few faint lines and small ticks. Die-clashed shield lines are hidden in the hair above the ear. Some angled file marks on the reverse denticles are vestiges of planchet preparation at the Mint, visible under a loupe. Overall, this is a sharp example for the grade with exceptional visual allure. Population: 28 in 61, 119 finer. CAC: 8 in 61, 22 finer (2/17).
From The Hutchinson Collection, Part II.
