1827 Bust Half Dollar XF (Square Base 2)
The 1827 Capped Bust Half Dollar represents an intriguing era of early American silver coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this fifty cent piece contains 0.3868 troy ounces of silver, with a purity of 0.8924. This specific year's mintage reached a total of 5,493,400 pieces, which includes three distinct varieties known to researchers, such as the Square Base 2 variety. Designed by John Reich, the obverse of the coin showcases a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a cap, with the word LIBERTY clearly inscribed above her. The year 1827 is positioned below the bust. On the reverse, an eagle is depicted with a protective shield on its chest, grasping an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of arrows in the other. The reverse also features the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and the denomination indicated as 50 C.
