1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Lettered Edge
Small Date Small Letters
Sharp Well Struck 50c Coin

The Capped Bust Half Dollar was designed by John Reich. A similar design was used on most other circulating silver coinage for the next several decades, providing a uniform appearance. The mintages for this denomination were relatively high as the half dollar had become a staple within the currency system, since silver dollars ceased being produced in 1804.

The design features Liberty, facing left with curled hair contained under a cap. There are seven stars to the left and six to the right, with the date in curved fashion below. The cap contains the word LIBERTY. On the coin?s reverse is a bald eagle with a shield at its chest, a bundle of arrows, and an olive branch in its claws. A scroll above reads E PLURIBUS UNUM with additional inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination, which would appear as 50 C.

The denomination also appears alternately as FIFTY CENTS, or HALF DOL. The scroll was also removed in an updated version of the design.The coins would be produced from the years 1807 to 1839 inclusive. The coins struck from 1807 to 1836 would feature a lettered edge, indicating the denomination. The coins struck from 1836 to the end of the series would feature a modified design and a reeded edge.

All coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint with the exception of the last year of the series 1839, when the New Orleans Mint struck 178,976 pieces for circulation. The year earlier they struck 20 pieces in Proof format.

Total mintage across all circulation strike issues is 91,088,096.

The lowest mintage of the series is the 1836 Reeded Edge Capped Bust Half at 1,200 pieces.
