1829 Capped Bust Half Dollar – O-106, PCGS VF25, CAC

A highly original and deeply desirable early Capped Bust half dollar, attributed to the scarce Overton variety O-106. This piece displays honest, even wear with strong remaining detail in Liberty’s portrait, full peripheral definition, and clean, well-balanced surfaces that retain a natural gray patina. The originality is immediately evident, with no signs of harsh cleaning or disturbance, and the coin maintains strong visual integrity for the grade. CAC approval further confirms this as a solid, problem-free example with superior eye appeal for VF25.

This is an exceptionally rare certified and CAC-verified survivor. The CAC population report shows only 4 coins approved , placing this example at the very top of its grade level for CAC quality standards. In addition, only a tiny number of examples are certified in higher CAC-approved grades (just 2 coins above VF25), underscoring how few true premium survivors exist for this die marriage in collectible condition. As a result, this piece sits firmly in the condition census for the variety, making it a standout opportunity for advanced Bust half dollar specialists.
