DESCRIPTION

1825 Capped Bust Half Dollar — NGC AU 55
Certification #: 2502856-007 (verify anytime at NGC's cert lookup)

Offered is an 1825 Capped Bust half dollar graded AU 55 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty), housed in an older-generation NGC holder bearing the "Numismatic Guaranty Corporation" label. AU 55 means the coin saw only brief circulation — just a touch of friction on the highest points of Liberty's cap and bust, with the design fully sharp beneath it.

Condition notes: The coin displays even, original gray toning consistent with a piece that was never harshly cleaned — the kind of natural surfaces early-silver collectors specifically hunt for. Wear is honest and limited to the high points, as the grade indicates. Please review all photos and the certification number for your own verification.

About the coin: The Capped Bust half dollar, designed by German-born engraver John Reich, was the workhorse of American commerce in the 1820s. With silver dollar production suspended since 1804, half dollars were the largest silver coin the Mint struck, and banks used them by the bag for reserves and settlements. The 1825 was struck only at Philadelphia, with a mintage of roughly 2.9 million, on hand-operated screw presses using individually hand-punched dies — which is why every die pairing (the "Overton varieties" collectors attribute) has its own personality. Each coin carries the distinctive lettered edge reading FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR, a feature that disappeared when steam presses arrived in 1836.

At two centuries old, this is an affordable entry into pre-1830 American silver in a solid, certified circulated-plus grade.
