PQ.
Nice old time toning, there is a
straight line from star 6 into the hair. This obverse (paired with
one other reverse) has the serif of Y in LIBERTY higher than T.
On the reverse, a leaf points to the extreme right base of I but
does not touch it. Eagle's beak joined to star point. 1807 coin-
age production continued with the fillet head or as it is com-
monly known nowadays, the draped bust obverse, and heraldic
reverse used in 1806. The estimated mintage of 301,076 coins
was accomplished using 11 different die marriages or varieties.

1807. Large stars, 50 over 20. Overton-111, Rarity 6
.
PCGS graded EF-40.
CAC Approved
. Lovely old time toning
with hints of golden-bluish hues gracing the contrast between
devices and fields on both sides. This is the scarce early state of
the obverse die made from perfect dies before a diebreak devel-
ops below the chin. The first design of John Reich's capped bust
left Half Dollar employs a substantially different treatment of
hair, cap, drapery, and portrait than does any of the later
designs, and is separately listed in the Guide Book. We see for
the first time the appearance of the defective star-point on the
13th star (lowest star on right). This little defect, clearly inten-
tional, would appear on Bust Half Dollar obverse dies made
through 1813. Some have called it John Reich's secret signa-
ture. In all, 750,500 Capped Bust Left half dollars were made in
1807. It was accomplished using four different die varieties
comprising a combination of four obverse dies and three
reverse dies.
Popular varieties of the 1807 Bust Left, new design are the O-
111 and O-112 reverse H which has an error. The 5 in 50C was
first punched over a 2. This punching error was corrected by
punching a 5 over the 2. (
