1829 Capped Bust Half Dollar VG/F

In VG/F (Very Good to Fine) condition, the coin will exhibit moderate to light wear across the design, with some of the finer details beginning to emerge. Liberty's portrait and the eagle's features should be discernible, although they may lack sharpness. The lettering and date may also be partially worn, but still legible.
