Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1826 Capped Bust Half is one of the more common dates in the series. There are still hundreds of examples available up to about AU58. However, in Uncirculated grades they become significantly scarcer. And fewer examples remain in MS65 and MS66 condition. In MS67 they are considered rare.
