1835 Capped Bust Half Dollar (50c)

The 1835 Capped Bust Half Dollar represents one of the final years of this iconic design before the transition to the Reeded Edge type in 1836, making it an interesting piece for those concentrating on early American numismatics.

This CAC-approved AU55 example offers exceptional eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces display a pleasing light silver-gray patina with hints of original luster still visible in protected areas. The strike is bold and well-centered, with sharp star details and clear definition in Liberty's hair curls. The reverse eagle is equally impressive, with crisp feather detail and minimal wear on the high points. Despite brief circulation, the fields remain remarkably clean for the grade, with only minor marks consistent with its AU designation.
