About This Coin
John Reich’s Capped Bust half dollar, introduced in 1807, represents the workhorse denomination of early American commerce. During an era when silver dollars were suspended from production, these hefty coins did the heavy lifting of the nation's economy, serving as bank reserves and facilitating major trade.
This 1823 example comes from a period of hand-crafted die production at the Philadelphia Mint, resulting in dozens of charming die varieties. Graded AU53 by PCGS and bearing a green CAC sticker, this toned specimen retains the sharp design detail and high-relief presence that defines the series, showing only light wear on the high points.
An About Uncirculated Bust half with CAC approval represents an ideal acquisition for the classic numismatist. It offers the historical weight of the early republic in a highly preserved, original state, making it a quiet anchor for any serious cabinet.
