1839 PCGS AU50 Capped Bust  CAC

1839 PCGS AU50 Capped Bust  CAC

A wonderful 1839 Capped Bust Half Dollar, graded PCGS AU50 and CAC approved, offering the collector a handsome, original example of one of America’s classic early half dollars. This coin has the bold, historic look of a nearly uncirculated piece, with strong remaining detail and attractive natural surfaces. The Capped Bust design, created by John Reich, is one of the most beloved designs in early U.S. coinage. 1839 was a fascinating year in American history—the first Opium War began, the U.S. Mint was producing coins by hand-operated presses, and the nation was still decades away from the Civil War. A great combination of history, originality, and CAC-approved quality.
