UNITED STATES: 50 cents, 1833, PCGS graded AU55, Capped Bust type, lettered edge, good strike for this date. Numismatists have identified 15 die marriages resulting from the use of 13 obverses paired with 14 reverses. Most of these dies were used too long, resulting in coins having worn, distorted features at their peripheries. 1833 was the year that coins were last struck within the old mint facility of 1792. The workers seem to have been distracted by this move and not inclined to replace worn dies in a timely manner.

Estimate: 250-350 USD
