1839 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. HALF DOL. GR-5. Rarity-2. MS-62 (PCGS). From this brief subtype at the end of the popular Capped Bust half dollar series comes a satiny Mint State example attractively toned in medium silver-rose iridescence. Virtually all design elements are sharply defined, and both the quality and eye appeal are suggestive of a higher certified grade.
