1833 Capped Bust Half Dime Very Fine to Extra Fine Condition

The 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime in VF/XF (Very Fine to Extremely Fine) condition is a remarkable piece of American numismatic history, reflecting the early years of the United States Mint. The obverse (front) of the coin features a portrait of Liberty facing left, wearing a Phrygian cap and surrounded by stars. The reverse (back) displays a wreath encircling the denomination "HALF DIME" and the indication of its value as "5 C."

n VF/XF condition, the coin will have moderate wear but with much of the original detail still intact. Liberty's portrait should exhibit clear delineation of features, with some flattening due to wear. The hair and cap details may show some softness, but overall, the portrait should still be sharp. On the reverse, the wreath and lettering should be well-defined, with minor wear evident but not detracting significantly from the design.
