The Capped Bust Lettered Edge Half Dollar, minted in Philadelphia in 1825, is a notable type of collectible coin from the early 19th century United States. Featuring a depiction of Liberty with a capped head on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, these coins were produced as part of the series that aimed to standardize American coinage. The lettered edge, which includes inscriptions such as "HUNDRED CENTS" and "HALF DOLLAR," was implemented to deter counterfeiting. Examples from 1825 are particularly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relative scarcity.
