Lot Description

1807 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-8. Rarity-2. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. From the initial year of the Capped Bust Left half eagle series comes this appealing circulated type candidate. Evenly patinated in light yellow-gold color, both sides exhibit a mostly bright, satin-to-semi-prooflike sheen. These features are readily evident despite the presence of scattered abrasions, all of which are commensurate with the grade for an early half eagle. One mark is noted on Liberty's cheek. Bold-to-sharp in detail, with an overall pleasing "look." PCGS# 8101.
