1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c) O-103

The 1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar is a key piece from the early years of this iconic series. Struck during the tumult of the War of 1812, this coin represents a time when the U.S. Mint was working to establish national coinage during its nascent post-colonial years.

This gorgeous, original gem - graded MS65 by PCGS and bearing a green CAC sticker - has outstanding eye appeal with its satiny luster and well-preserved surfaces. The details on Liberty and the eagle are sharply struck and the surfaces have minimal marks for the grade. With an even, attractive, original patina, this example exemplifies the Capped Bust series. A top-notch addition to any high-grade set.
