 “1816” Capped Bust Silver Half Dollars – Production Blog

All are over-struck on genuine US Mint Capped Bust Silver Half Dollars (circa 1807-1836).
All were broad-struck so the original edge lettering is still visible.

The US Mint produced Capped Bust silver half dollars every year from 1807-1836, except 1816.
In early 1816, a fire in the Mint building housing the rolling mills caused the Mint to cease silver and gold coin production until 1817.

NOTE: These are NOT endorsed by the US Treasury. Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.

Current Status:

All production has ended. The dies have been totally defaced and scrapped. Final mintage, for all types combined, is 144.
