- 1829 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-2. Rarity-1. MS-66 (PCGS). A lovely and conditionally rare example of this historic half dime issue. The luster is full an otherwise satiny texture yielding to modest semi-reflective qualities in the obverse field. That side of the coin also exhibits mottled olive-russet peripheral toning, the balance of the surfaces lightly patinated in antique silver. A fully struck, expertly preserved Gem that is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a high grade type set. The first half dime struck since 1805 and the first issue in the Capped Bust series, the 1829 is very popular for type purposes. Fortunately, enough examples were set aside at the time of production or otherwise managed to survive without seeing commercial use that acquiring an Uncirculated coin in grades through MS-64 should prove relatively easy under normal market conditions. Gems in MS-65 are scarce, however, while in the finest Mint State grades the conditionally challenging nature of the 1829 comes to the fore. PCGS Population (all die marriages of the issue): 9; 4 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 4276. NGC ID: 232B. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
