1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c) III Edge

The 1809 Capped Bust half dollar with III edge is a notable early date for the series, particularly distinguished by its edge lettering variation. The Overton 111 (O-111) variety is especially desirable among enthusiasts. This coin hails from the esteemed Jules Reiver Collection.

This coin, graded VF30 by NGC and accompanied by a coveted CAC sticker, exhibits honest, moderate wear but retains solid details throughout. The surfaces are smooth and free from major distractions, while the natural, even patina adds depth and character - there's even a hint of (natural!) rainbow toning around the edges. The eye appeal is outstanding, underscoring its desirability for any serious collector of early U.S. half dollars.
