The Capped Bust Half Eagle, a five-dollar gold coin, was minted by the United States from 1813 to 1834. The 1821 issue is particularly notable as it showcases the classic Capped Bust design by artist John Reich, featuring Liberty with a capped head on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. Coins from the Philadelphia mint are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage, particularly in higher grades. The Capped Bust Half Eagle is valued for both its gold content and numismatic interest.
