CAC. This is an 1808/7 Capped Bust half dollar graded PCGS AU50 with CAC endorsement. The obverse shows a left-facing capped bust of Liberty with flowing hair and “LIBERTY” on her headband, encircled by thirteen stars, the clear 1808/7 overdate below. The reverse features a heraldic eagle bearing a shield, clutching an olive branch and arrows, a ribbon reading “E PLURIBUS UNUM” in its beak, plus the legends “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “50 C.” Light wear appears only on the highest points of the hair, cap, and eagle’s feathers; strong remaining detail, attractive original luster in protected areas, and pleasing surfaces fully support the About Uncirculated grade and CAC endorsement.

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in the early years of John Reich’s Capped Bust series, this half dollar was produced during Thomas Jefferson’s presidency, just before James Madison’s 1809 inauguration. The well-known 1808/7 overdate resulted from reusing an unused 1807 die, a practical response to die-steel shortages. These large silver pieces were vital circulating coins in the young nation, bridging the earlier Draped Bust type and the long Capped Bust series that continued into the 1830s.
