Lot Description

All major design elements are readily appreciable on both sides of this bright honey-gold example, isolated areas revealing wisps of pale pinkish-rose. We even note some sharper definition in the protected areas of Liberty's portrait and the eagle's plumage, further enhancing the appeal of this more affordable type candidate from a challenging early U.S. Mint gold series. The popular 1807 is the premier Capped Bust Left half eagle, most examples in numismatic circles survivors from the BD-8 dies, as here.
