1807 $5 Capped Bust NGC MS63 CAC
Capture a pivotal piece of American coinage history with the 1807 $5 Capped Bust Half Eagle, graded MS63 by NGC and verified by CAC for premium quality. This impressive coin represents the first year of the iconic Capped Bust design by John Reich, a bold departure from the earlier Draped Bust motif.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1807 Half Eagle features Lady Liberty wearing a cloth cap inscribed with “LIBERTY,” her hair flowing freely in a neoclassical style. The reverse displays a streamlined heraldic eagle design—wings spread wide, grasping arrows and an olive branch—with the legend “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” encircling the image.
This example, preserved in Mint State 63 condition, offers strong luster, bold definition, and sharp strike details—exceptional for a coin over 200 years old. The CAC approval underscores its superior quality for the grade, making it a standout piece for discerning collectors.
Containing 0.2419 troy ounces of .9167 fine gold, the 1807 Half Eagle is both a tangible store of wealth and a symbol of the young American republic’s aspirations. Scarce in high mint state and highly sought after for its beauty and historic significance, this coin is a cornerstone addition for advanced numismatists and early U.S. gold enthusiasts.
