Capped Bust Half Dollars, minted from 1807 to 1839, feature a design by John Reich and are notable for their classic representation of Liberty. The 1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar, struck in Philadelphia, is one of the later issues of this series and was produced during a transitional period of U.S. coinage. These coins typically feature a bust of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse, reflecting the aesthetics of early 19th-century American coin design. The 50-cent denomination provides a significant collectible interest, particularly among numismatists focused on U.S. half dollars.
