Collecting Capped Bust Half Dimes
With intriguing detail, coin collecting capped bust half dimes is one of the most prized coins in many collections. This is one of the smallest and thinnest silver coins to ever be minted by the United States Government. The first minting of the half dimes was in 1792 and was continued until shortly after the copper-nickel alloy nickel was introduced in 1873.
There were 7 different designs in the half dime for the life of the coin. The capped bust was only minted from 1829 to 1837. The only half dime that design that lasted longer was the Seated Liberty.
There are many reasons collectors love acquiring this coin. Not only is there excellent detail in this coin without it being over crowed but they are still very reasonably priced. This is one of the few coins were die marriage collecting can be done for artistic reasons. This is where one example of coin per die that casted them is to be collected. Each die had its own unique difference and is noticeable to a person that is into coin collecting. There are 92 different possibilities to complete a die marriage collection.
When collectors add in the re die marriage coins, a complete collection will consist of 123. There are several coin collectors that have achieved this. This coin is perfect for this type of collecting since they are still in plentiful supply. Unlike their more expensive and larger cousins, the dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars, most were not melted down because of the small amount of silver they contained.
Coin collecting capped bust half dimes is enjoyable and cost effective in the world of coin collecting.
