Why Collect?

  • Large 8 is the most popular subtype of 1812, prized for its bold date style.

  • Overton-103 (R.1) is the “go-to” variety for type collectors—enough supply, yet quickly absorbed in attractive mid-grade.

  • 1812 marks the War-of-1812 era; owning a half dollar struck during the conflict adds historic cachet to any cabinet.
