Capped Bust Half Dollars are a type of United States coin produced from 1807 to 1839, with the 1808 issue being particularly significant due to its limited mintage. These coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and feature a portrait of Liberty wearing a capped headgear on the obverse. The reverse displays an eagle with a shield, reflective of the early American ideals. The 50-cent denomination plays a crucial role in the history of American numismatics, appealing to collectors due to their historical significance and artistic design.
