详细说明: Premium Mint State 1807 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle 1807 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-6. Rarity-4+. Large Reverse Stars. MS-62 (PCGS). OGH. Deep honey undertones give way to more vivid medium gold color under a light. There are faint traces of pinkish-rose peripheral iridescence that provide further visual appeal. Otherwise satiny in finish, hints of semi-reflectivity are evident in isolated field areas. The strike is well centered with most design elements suitably sharp for an example of this challenging early U.S. Mint gold type. With no sizable or otherwise singularly mentionable marks, the appearance is impressively smooth for the assigned grade and not all that far removed from what one might expect to see in an MS-63 holder. BD Die State a/b. The mintage for the 1807-dated issue is among the more complex to navigate in the early half eagle series, as a total of eight die pairs have been confirmed involving both the Capped Bust Right and Capped Bust Left design types. The Capped Bust Right BD-6 marriage is among the more readily available varieties of the date, though still no more than 100 examples are thought to remain (per John Dannreuther, 2006). Easily identified by repunching to the digits 1 and 0 in the date, Mint State examples of this variety are always in demand among type collectors and early gold enthusiasts.
