The 1807 Capped Bust Half Eagle, graded NGC MS63 and bearing the coveted CAC green sticker, stands as a remarkable representation of early American gold coinage. This is the first year of the Capped Bust to Left design, a significant turning point in U.S. numismatic history. For serious collectors of early gold, the opportunity to acquire a Mint State example from the initial issue year is both rare and rewarding.

In 1807, John Reich introduced a completely new design for the $5 gold piece. Liberty now faces left, wearing a soft cap with curling hair, framed by thirteen stars. The redesign gave the coin a more human and natural appearance, in contrast to the stylized portraits of earlier issues. The reverse showcases a powerful eagle, wings spread wide, perched on a shield while holding arrows and an olive branch. It is a proud image that reflects a young and growing nation.

Philadelphia was the only mint striking gold coins in 1807. With a modest mintage of just over 51,605 pieces and a low survival rate in Mint State, this issue is scarce today, particularly in high grades. Time, circulation, and melting have taken their toll. A certified MS63 example that has been verified by CAC for premium quality stands well above most known survivors.

This particular coin offers bold strike detail with frosty luster and impressive eye appeal. The devices are sharp, especially on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s wing feathers. The surfaces show only light marks typical of the MS63 grade, with no major distractions. The CAC approval assures that this coin meets or exceeds expectations for its assigned grade. That added layer of authentication enhances its desirability among collectors and investors alike.

What sets the 1807 issue apart is its role as the launch point of a new design series. The Capped Bust Left style would only last until 1812, making the series short-lived and very collectible. The first-year status adds extra appeal, particularly for those assembling type sets or looking to own a piece of major historical significance. It is also a tangible artifact from the Jeffersonian era, produced at a time when the nation was still forming its identity, and every gold coin was hand-struck using early minting technology.

In the broader context of U.S. gold coinage, the Capped Bust Half Eagle is a foundational type. It bridges the gap between the early experimental years of the Mint and the more standardized production of later decades. Owning a coin like this means holding a piece of history in your hands—one that circulated among the merchants, landowners, and citizens of a young republic.

As a Mint State coin from this era, this 1807 $5 gold piece has long-term value and strong demand. Examples in this grade rarely appear on the market, and when paired with CAC approval, they command a premium. This coin fits beautifully into a high-end early gold collection or as a centerpiece of a type set focusing on first-year issues.

Whether viewed as an investment in tangible American history or as a showpiece for a discerning collection, this 1807 Capped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS63 CAC checks every box. It combines beauty, rarity, and provenance in a way that few early gold coins can match. Don’t miss the chance to secure one of the most iconic early Federal gold coins in superior condition.

A LITTLE STICKER MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Within each number of the coin grading scale is a small range of condition from low-end to high-end. Certified coins of the same grade can be of varying quality. Many of today’s collectors want coins that are solid or premium quality for their assigned grade. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so you can be confident in the value of yours. We verify previously graded coins … and award our sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.

WHAT THE CAC STICKER MEANS:

  • Verified. Your coin has been verified as meeting the standard for strict quality within its grade.
  • Guaranteed. CAC stands behind our verification.

THE CAC STICKER IS BACKED BY EXPERIENCE.

CAC was founded by leading members of the numismatic community, including John Albanese, a respected authority on coin grading and the rare coin market.
