1833 Bust Half Dollar XF-45 PCGS
In 1833, the Philadelphia Mint produced a significant run of over five million silver half dollars. This particular coin, certified in Extra Fine 45 condition, offers a remarkably clear window into early American coinage. Struck in 89.24 percent silver, it contains 0.3868 troy ounces of precious metal, representing a time when circulating currency carried its value directly in its metallic content. The obverse features a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty, her hair flowing beneath a draped cap. On the reverse, a classic American eagle stands with wings spread, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing both strength and peace. A shield is placed across the eagle's chest, while the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is displayed on a scroll above.
