In late 1836, the principal Philadelphia Mint began using steam powered coin presses to mint the Capped Bust silver half dollar. The U.S. Mint's adoption of modern machinery would revolutionize its coinage production by improving the quality and uniformity of its output. These 1836-1839 specimens are the first of the denomination with a reeded edge. Fine quality. Our choice of date/reverse type based on availability.
