    A worn but clean 1826 Bust Half Dollar.
    Just over 4 million minted. She’s worn but still pretty. I’ve never met a Bust coin that I didn’t like.

    Nice "pocket piece". I'm sure it's seen plenty of cash registers in its day.

    She just turned 200. We all should look as good at that age.

    I totally agree. They're appealing in any grade. Though lower grade, yours is quite wholesome looking, and it's a Circulation Cameo (CircCam), too!

    Here is the current Capped Bust half type coin in my collection. I used to have an AU53, but I like this XF40 better.
