In 1815, the Philadelphia Mint didn't have an onerous mintage schedule, with only Quarter Dollars, Half Dollars and Half Eagles made at that time. Prior to 1815, the Mint produced millions of coins so the relatively small mintage of 47,150 Half Dollars was notable for this year. Because of this, the Capped Bust Half Dollar sports a rarity level that appeals to collectors and investors.
Another notable feature is that all 1815 Capped Bust Half Dollars are overdates, with the "5" punched over a "2". Typically, only a small portion of the "2" can be seen.
The 1815 Capped Bust Half Dollar design features Liberty left facing on the obverse, wearing a cap with the word 'LIBERTY'. She is surrounded by 13 stars and the coin date is at the bottom. The reverse design features an eagle with a shield and clutching arrows and an olive branch. The words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' are above the eagle, with the denomination below.
A LITTLE STICKER MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Within each number of the coin grading scale is a small range of condition from low-end to high-end. Certified coins of the same grade can be of varying quality. Many of today’s collectors want coins that are solid or premium quality for their assigned grade. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so you can be confident in the value of yours. We verify previously graded coins … and award our sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
WHAT THE CAC STICKER MEANS:
- Verified. Your coin has been verified as meeting the standard for strict quality within its grade.
- Guaranteed. CAC stands behind our verification by making markets in most actively traded coins.
THE CAC STICKER IS BACKED BY EXPERIENCE.
