Capped Bust Lettered Edge Half Dollars are a type of United States coin minted from 1807 to 1836, featuring a distinctive design by engraver John Reich. The obverse showcases a depiction of Liberty with a capped bust, while the reverse features an eagle grasping arrows and an olive branch. The "lettered edge" refers to the series of inscriptions on the edge of the coin, often indicating its weight and purity, which aimed to deter counterfeiting. The 1810 issue is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relatively limited mintage.
