About This Coin

Robert Scot's Draped Bust half dollar represents the neoclassical elegance of the early Republic. By 1807, the final year of the design, the Philadelphia Mint was still utilizing hand-engraved dies, a practice that frequently resulted in fascinating transitional varieties.

This specimen features the prominent Large Stars obverse paired with the famous "50 over 20" reverse blunder, where the denomination was mistakenly punched. It is a compelling testament to the manual, often hurried nature of early American coining.

At the VF25 level, this coin offers the honest wear of a piece that actually circulated in the young nation, while retaining strong, clear design elements. Verified by both PCGS and CAC, it represents a highly collectible, original survivor of a landmark design.

Series History & Details

Early half dollars, particularly the Draped Bust and Capped Bust series (1794–1839), represent the foundation of early American commerce. Struck using hand-engraved dies, they are rich in die varieties and historical charm, capturing the spirit of the young American Republic.
