Introduction
The 1807 $5 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle graded PCGS MS62 is a notable survivor from the earliest years of United States gold coinage. With solid mint-state preservation and professional certification, this coin offers collectors an opportunity to acquire an authentic early federal gold issue with lasting historical and numismatic value.
History
The Capped Bust Left Half Eagle was struck from 1807 through 1812 at the Philadelphia Mint during a formative period in American monetary history. These coins circulated widely in domestic and international commerce, contributing to their low survival rates today. The 1807 issue represents the inaugural year of the Capped Bust Left design, adding further significance for collectors of early U.S. gold.
Design
Designed by John Reich, the obverse depicts Liberty facing left wearing a cap, with stars surrounding the portrait and the date below. The reverse features a heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows, reflecting the early neoclassical style of U.S. coinage. The coin’s original surfaces and balanced detail are well preserved for the MS62 grade, highlighting the artistry and craftsmanship of early American minting.
