1807 Capped Bust Left Five, AU Details
Popular BD-8 Variety

1807 $5 Bust Left -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. From a mintage of 51,605 pieces, the 1807 Capped Bust Left half eagle is known in two die varieties. The present coin represents the more available BD-8 variety, characterized by the position of the arrow feather pointing to the flag of the 5 in the denomination. John Dannreuther estimates a surviving population of 500-750 pieces in all grades. The present coin is a well-detailed piece, with little actual wear on the devices and a curious depression on Liberty's cheek. The orange-gold surfaces are attractive, but the mint luster is slightly dulled by a previous cleaning.
