The Capped Bust Lettered Edge Half Dollars, minted from 1807 to 1839, are a series of fifty-cent coins featuring a design by artist John Reich. The obverse showcases a bust of Liberty wearing a capped headband, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield and the denomination. The specific 1830 coin is part of a series that marked the transition to more sophisticated minting techniques, including the addition of a lettered edge, which enhances counterfeiting resistance. These coins are collectible due to their historical significance, artistic design, and relatively low mintage compared to other types.
