Description:
This 1832 Capped Bust Half Dime, graded AU55 (About Uncirculated) by PCGS, is a remarkable example of early American coinage. The obverse features Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap inscribed with "LIBERTY" and surrounded by 13 stars representing the original colonies. The reverse showcases a bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing preparedness for war and peace, with the denomination "5C" beneath the eagle. The design was part of the Capped Bust series, introduced to reflect classic Federal-style artistry.
