Choice Bust Left 1807 Half Eagle, BD-8

1807 $5 Bust Left MS64 NGC. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. A yellow-gold near-Gem that displays occasional glimpses of apricot and lime-green. The strike is precise throughout, aside from the upper reverse denticles which exhibit mint-produced adjustment marks. Minor adjustment marks are also present on the olive branch, but both sides are void of any remotely mentionable abrasions. Luster penetrates the open fields and bathes the devices. Although all early half eagles are scarce, a date set of Capped Bust Left fives (struck from 1807 to 1812) is surprisingly affordable, and within the means of many advanced collectors.
