1832 Bust Half Dollar XF-45 NGC (Sm Letters)
This silver half dollar from 1832 offers a fascinating window into early American coinage. Struck with a purity of 0.8924 silver, the coin contains 0.3868 troy ounces of precious metal. As an official issue backed by the United States government, it represents a standard of commerce from the pre-1933 era of American currency. The design, created by John Reich, showcases the profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse, wearing a cap inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Thirteen stars surround her image, with the date 1832 positioned at the bottom. On the reverse, a detailed eagle is depicted with a shield across its chest. The eagle clutches an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons, symbolizing both peace and defense. Above the eagle, a scroll displays the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, while the denomination 50 C. is clearly visible at the base of the design.
