- Handsome Mint State 1807 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle 1807 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-6. Rarity-4+. Large Reverse Stars. MS-61 (NGC). Deep olive undertones give way to more vivid medium gold patina as the surfaces dip into a light. The reverse periphery is further enhanced by blushes of pinkish-rose iridescence, a suggestion of which is also evident on the obverse in the date area. Otherwise satiny in finish, modest semi-reflective tendencies are evident in the field on the latter side. The strike is well centered with most design elements suitably bold for an example of this challenging early U.S. Mint gold type. 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 W. Dannreuther, 2006). Easily identified by punching on the digit 1 in the date, Mint State examples of this variety are always in demand among both type collectors and early gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 8092. NGC ID: CKLF.
