1807 50C Draped Bust Draped Bust Half Dollar PCGS MS63 (CAC)

An exceptional last-year type, this 1807 Draped Bust Half Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint is certified PCGS MS63 (Choice Mint State). As the final issue of the Draped Bust series (1796–1807), it bridges the early Federal era and the transition to the Capped Bust design, making it a cornerstone for both advanced type sets and early U.S. silver collections. Struck at the nation’s first mint, this classic half dollar features Robert Scot’s iconic Draped Bust Liberty and the Heraldic Eagle reverse with the national shield and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The lettered edge—FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR—underscores its early mint craftsmanship. In Mint State, 1807 halves are notably scarce; MS63 examples deliver the strong eye appeal, remaining luster, and minimal abrasions serious collectors seek, while offering an accessible entry point for newer buyers who want an important early American silver coin with third‑party certification.
