1832 Capped Bust Half Dime (H10C)

The 1832 Capped Bust Half Dime represents a fascinating period in early American coinage, produced during Andrew Jackson's presidency and the height of the Second Bank of the United States controversy. While not particularly rare with a mintage of 965,000 pieces, finding one in superb gem condition is a significant challenge.

This exceptional MS66+ example certified by PCGS with CAC approval is among the finest known. The surfaces are virtually pristine, displaying strong mint luster and beautiful original toning. The strike is exceptionally sharp, with full definition on the stars, hair details, and eagle's feathers. The eye appeal is extraordinary, with smooth, mark-free fields that showcase the coin's original mint brilliance.

For perspective, PCGS has graded only a handful of 1832 half dimes at this elite level, making this piece a true condition rarity. The combination of technical grade and aesthetic appeal places this coin among the most desirable examples of the date.
