1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-111b. Rarity-5. Large Stars, 50/20, Bearded Goddess. EF Details--Repaired (PCGS).Glossy in texture with light hairlining to explain the PCGS qualifier, overall sharp detail and light to moderate retoning in olive-russet enhances this coins appearance. A second example of the popular Bearded Goddess variety in the E. Horatio Morgan Collection, this coin represents an even later die state than its counterpart in the preceding lot. The primary crack is bolder over Libertys bust and now extends below the bust into the field before the date. As well, there are two additional cracks in the field before the date that originate at the border, and the top of the primary extends upward across Libertys chin, mouth, nose and eye before splitting in two and continuing into the cap and band. The latest state of this obverse die of which we are aware, this intriguing piece holds particular appeal for the advanced early half dollar variety collector.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
