Product Details: This highly historic 1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar, certified a solid Extremely Fine XF40 by PCGS, is a wonderful, problem-free survivor from the era of 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 the word 'LIBERTY,' all surrounded by thirteen stars and the pivotal 1812 date. The surfaces exhibit an attractive, original silver-grey patina with darker contrasting toning in the protected areas, highlighting the honest, even circulation wear that still leaves the major design elements beautifully defined. 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, accompanied by a scrolling banner reading 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the '50 C.' denomination securely framed by the 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' legend. Boasting exceptionally wholesome, original surfaces and the profound historical gravity of an early 19th-century U.S. Mint issue, this classic 89.2% silver half dollar offers numismatists an excellent opportunity to acquire a handsome, highly collectible piece of early American history for any dedicated type set.
