1813 Capped Bust Half Dollar. AU-50. This is a nice example of one of the more shattered dies of the series. The obverse die is cracked heavily through the date and stars, while the reverse is similarly cracked, and both dies show heavy clash marks. Obviously, no new dies were available when a large quotient of Bust half dollars needed to be produced. Examination will show moderate hairlines from a past cleaning, and this one has been more harshly cleaned than most, but still retains some luster.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
