1833 Bust Half Dollar Good
This silver half dollar from 1833 offers a direct connection to the early decades of United States coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the coin carries a face value of 50 cents and is composed of 89.24 percent silver, containing approximately 0.3868 troy ounces of precious metal. Having circulated through the commerce of Jacksonian America, this piece survives in Good condition, showing the honest wear of its journey through time. The obverse displays a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a soft cap, with the word Liberty clearly visible. On the reverse, a detailed heraldic eagle holds an olive branch and arrows in its talons, with a shield draped across its chest. This classic design by John Reich represents the aesthetic of a young nation establishing its identity through its currency.
