1839 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. HALF DOL. GR-7. Rarity-1. Large Letters. AU-58 (ANACS). Sharply struck on the obverse, with thin bands of colorful toning at the peripheries contrasting against bright silver centers. This is a common variety and is easily identified by the large spike-like lump rising from Liberty's bust, readily visible without magnification. Another useful diagnostic is a prominent die line on Liberty's forehead, extending from the hair toward her eye. This represents the second use of the reverse die previously employed for GR-6, and the features that were already weak on that variety are especially so here. The eagle's tail feathers, the ST of STATES, and the D of DOLLAR are all noticeably soft. Even so, the coin is attractive, as one would expect for a Choice AU example. Jim Koenings Commentary: My records of sales and 2024 census document at least 84 specimens of this variety. My records are less complete for the more common R-1 and R-2 varieties, so this figure should not be considered a complete accounting. This die marriage is easily recognized by the prominent spike on Liberty's chest. Provenance: From the Jim Koenings Collection. PCGS# 6179. NGC ID: 24G6.
