1833 Capped Bust Half Dime MS64 NGC
Early U.S. Silver
A beautiful survivor from the early days of American coinage, this 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime is graded MS64 by NGC, placing it firmly in near-gem condition. With crisp design elements, strong original luster, and excellent overall eye appeal, this coin represents an outstanding example of early U.S. silver.
Designed by William Kneass, the Capped Bust Half Dime is a classic pre-1837 type coin, struck during a period when silver coins were still produced by hand-adjusted planchets and primitive minting technology. High-grade Mint State examples like this are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
