***Auction Highlight*** 1815/2 Finest Example We've Ever Sold One of Only 12 Examples Capped Bust Half Dollar 50c Graded BU+ By USCG. Up for Auction is the chase coin of the entire Capped Bust Half Dollar series. The Legendary 1815 Capped Bust Half Dollar. This is the finest example by far that we have ever brought to auction. Per Ron Guth of PCGS : “Quiet times prevailed at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia in 1815, where only Quarter Dollars, Half Dollars, and Half Eagles were made that year. Mintages dropped precipitously on all three denominations, but especially on the Half Eagle. The Mint produced only 47,150 Half Dollars in 1815, a far cry from the million-plus mintages of previous and subsequent years. This makes the 1815 Half Dollar a standout among the Capped Bust Half Dollars - a rarity that is desired in all grades. What makes the 1815 Half Dollar even more interesting is that all are overdates, with the 5 of the date punched over a 2. Though only a portion of the underlying 2 is visible, it can be seen even on worn examples. PCGS estimate that only 800 examples survive in all grades and that only 12, yes 12 lone coins survive in uncirculated condition. Today may be your opportunity to own one of these rare 12 coins!
