Issuer: United States of America, Philadelphia Mint.
Specifications: .892 fine silver, 0.3866 oz. ASW, 32.5 mm, 13.5 g. Edge lettering: FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR. Mintage: 1,960,322 (all varieties).
Grade: PCGS VF30; cert. #36319239.
Reference: PCGS-6113, Numista-10637, Overton-113.
Provenance: ex-Lane J. Brunner ("astrorat" on Collectors Universe), 20 May 2020.
Notes: the Capped Bust design type had its debut on half dollars in 1807 and continued, with some modification, until 1839, when it was replaced by the Seated Liberty type.
Comments: I wanted an earlier (1810s) Bust half with original toning, and found this dove-grey example to be quite handsome. It has light "Circulated Cameo" contrast, which is a look I've always liked on circulated silver.
