Capped Bust Reeded Edge Half Dollars were minted in the United States from 1807 to 1839, with the 1839 coin being particularly notable as it features a design by engraver Robert Scot. The coin displays a classic bust of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The New Orleans Mint struck these coins, making them more desirable to collectors due to the limited mintage and unique historical significance. The reeded edge helps prevent counterfeiting, a common concern during that period.
