1807 50/00 -  O.112 R.1 PCGS AU 55+

Exceptional luster hallmarks this beguiling 1807.  The strike is equally impressive, with weakness confined to the eagle’s head.  Note especially the high rims, sharp stars and crisp detail in Liberty’s curls, drapery and cap.  Iridescent toning circles the stars and legend.  The fields are free of distractions; a few grazes confirm short term circulation.  In all, a top flight example of the first year of John Reich’s capped bust design.

Estimate: $4,500 to $5,500
