Capped Bust Half Dollars were the highest silver denomination coin minted by the United States. As the largest circulating coin of the day many were stored securely in bank vaults as a guarantee to the assets of the bank. This accounts for the high number that have survived to this day. Since they were the product of so much individual human work, there are over 450 varieties for the serious collector to gather. This book will appeal to collectors of this series, those interested in early Federal coinage from the United States and those who would simply like to learn more about this era of American history from a numismatic point of view, numbered 17 out of 25 printed.
