Product Details This highly desirable 1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar, certified a solid Choice Very Fine VF 35 by ANACS and specifically attributed on the label as the O-103 variety, is a fascinating survivor of early 19th-century American silver coinage struck during the War of 1812. The obverse presents John Reich’s classic portrait of Lady Liberty facing left, her curled hair cascading beneath a cloth mob cap boldly inscribed with 'LIBERTY,' all surrounded by thirteen stars and the 1812 date, exhibiting honest, even circulation wear and framed by deep, attractive peripheral toning that beautifully contrasts with the lighter silver centers. Transitioning to the reverse, the design features a majestic heraldic eagle with a union shield on its breast, clutching an olive branch of peace and arrows of war, with a scrolling banner reading 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' above and the '50 C.' denomination below, similarly highlighted by a rich, natural patina around the rim. Boasting problem-free, original surfaces and the profound historical gravity of an early U.S. Mint issue, this classic silver half dollar offers numismatists an excellent opportunity to acquire a handsome, premium-quality piece of early American history for any dedicated type set or specialized Overton collection.
