Capped Bust Reeded Edge Half Dollars were minted in the United States from 1807 to 1839, featuring a design by Robert Scot. The 1837 issue was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and is notable for its distinctive capped bust of Liberty on the obverse, surrounded by stars, and the denomination on the reverse. These coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, artistic design, and relatively limited mintage, making them a valuable addition to any collection of U.S. silver coinage. The reeded edge was introduced to help prevent counterfeiting by making it more difficult to file down the edges and remove metal.
