1824 Capped Bust Half Dollar

[hogge]

Did I mention it was COUNTERFEIT? Or what's left of it. Found a 1919 wheatie too, but thought this might be a better post!!!!!!! Under magnification you can see the date pretty good.

Got a Barber Half that's counterfeit, but man, a Capped? Back then you could buy a couple of wives, or a few head of cattle with that coin! Kudos!

Those counterfeits are an important part of our nations history, so it is definitely a nice find!

Congrats!


BTW: Are you able to see a date?
