1810 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

While not a true key date, Capped Bust halves with this level of preservation and originality are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, especially with CAC approval.

This 1810 PCGS VF35 example showcases exactly what CAC looks for in a circulated Bust half - completely original surfaces with smooth, even wear and excellent eye appeal. The coin displays lovely medium gray patina throughout, with no signs of cleaning or environmental damage. All the major design elements remain sharp and well-defined, from Liberty's hair details to the eagle's feather definition on the reverse. The surfaces are remarkably clean for a coin that saw this much circulation, making it an ideal candidate for a high-quality type set.
