I will bypass the GTG on this one because she is in her correct slab, AU 58.
Do you agree with the grade ?
I really love those first generation CBH's.

This is an 1807 half dollar from the same vintage of John Reich dies. This one has better luster and color than my photo is showing here, but it only got an AU-53. Reich's early half dollar dollars often produced uneven results.

<< <i>Very nice image, sharp, crisp and the color looks spot on. Love all the die cracks and the way the stars and lettering pull away to the rim. Is this broad struck? >>
I don't think that "broad struck" is possible. These coins were struck without a collar.
<< <i>gorgeous coin, I have no problem at all with it at 58, and that's even recognizing the few apparent test mark digs here and there, as they were contemporary to the coin the few times it was spent, to verify that it was real silver. They're small and inconspicuous, and more than made up for by decent strike for the later die state and very nice surfaces. >>
Great observation Baley
You know your early coinage.

I concur Bill
Looks like a NGC 58. PCGS would go 55 on a good day. My NGC 62, in this same marriage die state, would only cross at PCGS 58.
Still Very entertaining
Edit: Very pretty coins - Bill - Really nice looking skin on your 53; great look
