Description: For the particular buyer who wants something prominent in large Early American silver coins, we offer this premium, toned 1813 Capped Bust half dollar of the Overton 107a variety with die cracks through the date and "50 C." This coin has the original, uncleaned, dark silvery-grey field contrasts to lighter silver colour and includes multicolour (blue, orange, red, golden) toning that is visible in the fields on both sides. Think of this half dollar when it was minted - as War of 1812 mintage. 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 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.
