***Auction Highlight*** 1808/7 R-4+ Gold Capped Bust Half Eagle $5 Graded Choice AU/BU Slider+ By USCG. Up for Auction is an Amazing and Rare Overdate. The 1808/7 Capped Bust Half Eagle. R4+ Die State b/c Bright yellow gold surfaces with ample satiny luster remaining. This is an uncommonly well struck example for an early half eagle, the definition bold to sharp throughout the design. A prominent bisecting die crack over the upper obverse is as struck (it is diagnostic of obverse die state b as defined by John W. Dannreuther, 2006), and for a BU Capped Bust Right five it is remarkable that there are no sizeable or otherwise outwardly distracting abrasions. This is highly desirable example of this elusive overdate issue. Given the tiny number seen at this grade level or finer, any serious numismatist would do well to secure this condition rarity as soon as possible--in this case when the hammer falls with your winning bid! A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
