<b>1807 &#36;5 Capped Draped Bust. Bust left. PCGS graded MS63.</b> A splendid lustrous yellow-gold and very attractive example of the first year of John Reich&#39;s capped bust design, a feature that was used only until 1812 before modification. A needle-sharp strike on the obverse is equaled by similar sharp definition on the reverse, and includes all hair, the star centers, all dentils &#40;a virtual definition of this design&#41;, while the reverse eagle is indeed a proud bird with the golden tail, brilliant, bold, unmistakably leading a charmed life as it were with no diminution after close to 200 years! The luster is satiny, glowing, beautiful, and the color, as stated is yellow gold. All told this is one of the more outstanding 1807 half eagles we have ever seen. For the type set enthusiast this will provide years of enjoyment.
