The Capped Bust Half Dime is a silver coin produced in the United States from 1829 to 1837, featuring a portrait of Liberty with a capped head. The specific 1805 date is associated with a different denomination, as the Capped Bust design for half dimes did not commence until 1829. The five-cent nickel, which later became a staple in U.S. coinage, was introduced in 1866. Collectible coins like these often hold significance due to their historical context, rarity, and demand among numismatists. The Philadelphia Mint was a primary location for coin production during the early years of American coinage.
