1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar PCGS Genuine Cleaned VF Tough Date
The 1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar stands as a notable early issue in this series, combining historical importance with numismatic rarity. With a mintage of approximately 1.4 million coins, this date is recognized as a tough acquisition due to its relatively low survival rate in circulated grades, making it a semi-key date that appeals to astute collectors. The design, created by John Reich, marks a transition in American coinage from the simpler Draped Bust motif, exemplifying the early 19th-century push towards more intricate coinage. Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, this specimen presents with an attractive strike for the era, although it is classified as PCGS Genuine due to cleaning. Despite this, its collectibility remains strong, and it represents an essential piece for completing a series set, offering historical allure backed by well-documented scarcity.
