This unworn green-gold representative exhibits a crisp strike, though traces of roller marks are seen on the reverse. devices and lightly marked fields confirm the quality. John Reich's Capped Bust Left series has major stoppers to Guide Book completion, but a six-piece date set is within reach of many numismatists. Mint State examples are also in demand from early type collectors. 1807 was a transitional year for the half eagle, and two of the eight die pairings are the Reich design. BD-7 is very scarce to rare, but BD-8 is available by the standards of the series. This is an excellent coin to add to your collection.
