1814 Bust Half Dollar Fine
Struck in the early years of the United States, this 1814 Capped Bust half dollar offers a window into the nation's early coinage. The silver piece, minted in Philadelphia, contains 0.3868 troy ounces of silver with a purity of 0.8924. It represents a time when the young republic was still defining its visual identity through its circulating currency. The obverse of the coin displays a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a cap, with the word LIBERTY inscribed above her and the year 1814 positioned below. The reverse showcases a detailed eagle with a protective shield on its chest, grasping an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons. Above the eagle, the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is displayed, while the surrounding inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination 50 C.
