Affordable Capped Bust silver coinage
May 10, 2018 By Dennis Hengeveld 1 Comment
The Capped Bust series was the main design on United States silver coinage from 1807 to 1839, with half dollars being struck for the entire period, and half dimes, dimes, and quarters being struck for shorter periods during that same timeframe. Designed by John Reich, the design of these silver coins has a classic feel to them, and the various denominations have a dedicated collector following. If you are a new collector, or are perhaps looking for a few type pieces to add to your collection, it is not necessary to spend huge amounts of money for some nice examples. In this article, we will take a look at five options that can be purchased for less than $100. While they may not be the finest known, they are still great examples of the coinage of America’s past, with some having already surpassed two centuries in age.
