Half Dime - Capped Bust - 1835 CIRC

Struck in 89.24% silver over 170 years ago, the 1835 Capped Bust half dime appears in 4 different varieties. This is due to large-size and small-size applications of both the 1835 date on the obverse, and the denomination on the reverse stated as <spanclass="motto">5 c.. Because availability of the 4 varieties is approximately the same, these coins do not in general differ in price to collectors. Offered here is the 1835 Capped Bust half dime with Large Date and Large 5&cent;.
