1808-1836 Bust Half Dollar Culls
During the formative decades of the United States, the Bust Half Dollar served as a cornerstone of daily commerce. Minted between the years of 1808 and 1836, these substantial silver pieces carry a purity of 0.8924, representing 0.3868 troy ounces of precious metal. Each coin stands as an official sovereign issue backed by the United States government. The visual artistry of this series was crafted by John Reich. On the obverse, a classic profile of Lady Liberty faces right, wearing a cap inscribed with her name. The reverse presents a detailed heraldic scene featuring an eagle with a protective shield draped across its chest. In its talons, the eagle grasps both a peaceful olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing the dual nature of the young republic's readiness for peace or defense.
