The 1807 capped bust half eagles is readily available in most grades and in the gem conditions. This is a new designed by John Reich in the circulation strike mintage of 51,605 and in the measurement of 25 millimeters in the diameter and weight of 8.748 grams. All of this date type was struck at Philadelphia Pennsylvania Mint. It is composed of metal which is 91.7 percent of gold and 8.3 percent of silver and copper combination. This AU-50 grade is about Uncirculated. The obverse of this grade is light wear is seen on the check and the higher relief areas of the hair and cap. Friction and scattered marks are in the field ranging extensive to minimal. And in the reverse the eagle’s neck, the top of the wings, the leaves and the arrow heads now show noticeable wear and luster ranges from perhaps 40 percent remaining in protected areas. The capped bust to left half eagle is seldom collected in grades that lower than VF-20.This style was used only for a short time in the half eagle series. The striking is usually quite good and is significantly better than on earlier half eagle types.
