Historical Background

Obverse: Statue of Liberty in a Hat

Reverse: Eagle with Spread Wings
A bald eagle with spread wings: its left talon holds an olive branch (symbolizing peace) and its right talon grasps three arrows (symbolizing defense). Its chest shield is decorated with 13 vertical stripes (symbolizing the 13 states). A ribbon above the eagle reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Out of many, one) in Latin.

Design Innovation: The first half dollar to feature a uniform capped goddess and heraldic eagle emblem, establishing the aesthetic foundation for 19th-century American silver coins.

Core Collectibles:

Function: Primarily used for domestic circulation and bank reserves, it was the core denomination of the American silver coin system in the early 19th century.
Varieties: Capped Bust Half Dollars from the same year may exhibit different varieties due to die variations. For example, the renowned 1823 issue features major varieties such as “Broken 3,” “Patched 4,” and “Ugly 3.” These varieties typically have a significant impact on a coin's value and collectible appeal.
