The Large Diameter type, Capped Head towards Left, issued in the year 1813 to 1829, holds some of the most scarcities in American numismatics— gold coins like as the half eagle of 1815, the 1825/4 (2 known), the 1822 (3 known), as well as the Large Date 1829. The half eagle of 1820 has the maximum mintage (263,806 coins), as well as the 1815 has its lowest (only 635 coins). A few date, like as 1819, has a reasonably the greatest mintage {about 51,723 coins) however remain extremely uncommon today. The scarcity of a lot of the dates may not be credited to abrasion alone-clearly; huge majorities of numerous dates were damaged en masse.
However, the collector of standard means still has a lot of opportunities to own that type. The most reasonably priced dates comprise 1814, 1813, 1818, as well as 1820. Still the half eagle 1823, having a mintage of just 14,485 pieces, is in reach of many collectors. Quite a few attractive varieties exist to attract the collector. Overdates comprise the 1825/4, the 1825/1, the 1814/3, as well as the 1828/7. In type 1818, diversity comprises STATES OF stuck together as single word; another variety 1818 demonstrates the denomination like 5D over 50. The two of the dates are found by either a bent base otherwise a flat, directly base.
The only producer was the Philadelphia Mint of this type of coins. A small figure of Proof models were produced, each of which are very precious rarities.
Designer was John Reich. This Capped Head pattern was just used on the half eagles starting in 1813 as well as the quarter eagle from 1821. When it looks like the Liberty head on the typical Head half cents of 1809-1836, the head and bust are shaped in a different way. The opposite is a little modified edition of the previous. Edge: reed. Standards: mass, 8.75 grams; composition, gold 91.67% or 8.33% silver as well as copper; 25 mm diameter.
