John Reich started working at the United State Mint in the year 1807 as an engraver assistant, to Robert Scot. Reich's early efforts planning American coins issued on that very same year, while his Capped Bust design appeared on half eagle in addition to the half dollar. The half eagle became the most significant gold coinage in period between 1800’s. In fact, between the periods of 1809 to 1820, wide-ranging, it was the single gold denomination created in the states.
There was no discontinuity in this Capped Bust types, an uncommon thing in any kind outside of the huge cents and except the half dollar coins. Mintages were great for that period, attainment of a zenith of other than 10 million coins in the year 1810. Even the lowly mintage dates (year 1809) were represented by in excess of more than 33,000 coins.
This kind contains 2 over dates: 1808/7 as well as the 1809/8. In 1810, either big or the Small date, or the five in the value is found to be Small, Tall, and also in Large. The 1811 is also found in Small or in the Large five figures in the denomination.
In common, this kind is far better prepared than the predecessors, though weak strikes pops up issues from time to time. No instances based on proofs were made of that type. Every coins of that kind were struck in the Philadelphia Mint. Designer of it is John Reich. This Capped Bust design comes into sight on just one other quantity the 1808 quarter eagle.
13 stars are organized with 7 on the left as well as 6 on the right at the face; die date becomes visible below the bust. The opposite features an eagle by its wings outstretched in addition to rose. A scroll holding the terms “E PLURIBUS UNUM” surrounds over the eagle's head.
“UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” surrounds around the top reverse.
