1807 50C LARGE STARS 50/20 VF25 PCGS CAC

Struck during the early years of the United States Mint, the 1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of American silver coinage. Designed by John Reich, the 1807 issue marks the first year of the Capped Bust type, replacing the earlier Draped Bust design. At the time, half dollars served as a vital medium of commerce in a growing national economy, and varieties such as the Large Stars and the 50/20 overdate reflect the hands-on nature of early die preparation and reuse. A closer visual examination reveals pleasing surface with underlying traces of the 20 beneath the 50 remain visible, adding important variety character. The surfaces on both sides exhibit a smooth, original texture, highlighted by a cohesive blend of dove-gray and warm olive-gold tones, with subtle iridescent blue and amber accents collecting near the peripheries and within protected areas, enhancing depth without disrupting the coin’s natural appearance. Graded VF25 by PCGS and approved by CAC, this Large Stars 50/20 overdate was struck from a mintage of 750,500 pieces with an estimated survival of approximately 3,000, and remains a compelling representative of this historic first-year type. CAC population reports show just 8 approved examples in this grade with 114 finer, but acquiring one in circulated condition with color will be impossible to get thanks to Bust Half Nut collectors. A great start to any Capped Bust collection and a piece that is sure to attract strong interest among Bust half dollar variety enthusiasts, offering excellent eye appeal and a thoroughly pleasing overall presentation.
