1813 Bust Half Dollar VF-30 PCGS
In 1813, the United States Mint produced a silver half dollar that captures the artistic spirit of a young nation. This fifty-cent piece contains 0.3868 ounces of silver, with a metal purity of 0.8924. Designed by William Kneass, the coin belongs to the celebrated Capped Bust series, representing a fascinating era of early American coinage. The obverse of the coin displays a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty. She is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, a classic symbol of freedom. On the reverse, an eagle is shown with a shield draped across its chest. In its talons, the eagle firmly grasps both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, representing the dual national themes of peace and defense.
