Bright, Lustrous MS63 1807 Capped Bust Five

1807 $5 Bust Left MS63 NGC. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. This variety is the most frequently encountered of the year and one of the most available of all varieties of early gold coins. The surfaces are lustrous and show beautiful canary-gold color. Very clean, a couple of light handling marks in the fields do not appear to limit the grade. The major devices are fully struck, and only portions of the denticles lack a full strike. Light clashmarks (as made) from the eagle's shield and wings are noted on the obverse. The first year of John Reich's Capped Head Left design, a scarce type that was only produced for six years through 1812. (Registry values: P2)
