1839 - Coins

Capped Bust Reeded Edge Half Dollars were minted by the United States from 1839 to 1848. The coins feature a design by Robert Scott, showcasing a profile of Liberty capped and facing left on the obverse, with the reverse displaying an eagle with a shield. The reeded edge was introduced to prevent counterfeiting and is distinct among half dollars of the era. The 1839 issue is particularly significant as it represents the debut year of this design, making it sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades.
