Description: For the particular buyer who looks for some of the variety and Mint deviations in large Early American silver coins, we offer this 1824 over 4 Capped Bust half dollar, Overton 110, PCGS VF details (cleaned) of the Type 1 that featured wording on the edge instead of reeded pattern, and "50 C" as the denomination indicator. This coin was cleaned but maintains its Very Fine level of many visible details. The top of the 4 in its first position is visible to the immediate left of the present 4 of the date 1824. Think of this half dollar when it was minted - in the years of growth as a young nation in the 1820s. As it was the largest non-gold denomination, rolls and bags of these half dollars would be stored in bank vaults to back currency and transferred to balance large debts; individuals generally could not afford to carry these around (this time would come, but for the Barber half dollar era). All this is an interesting insight into a bit of Early American history of our grand old Philadelphia Mint, Federal government and banking dynamics, and who might have stored, circulated, and then who else saved it for successive collections. We are pleased to offer you this coin to continue its numismatic journey. Shipped with signature tracking for your added assurance.
