Initially, there were only 14,485 of these coins when they were originally minted. However, there are approximately only 100 or so survivors left in all grades combined. Despite the rarity of this date, it is relatively common when compared to other half eagles from the 1820s. In fact, it is the most available date between 1821 and 1829.

Numismatic Coins VS. Bullion Coins
Posted by Derek Sawchenko on
Are you new to the world of numismatics? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, numismatics is “the study or act of collecting of coins, paper money, and medals.” If you are new to the numismatic community, you may be wondering what the difference is between numismatic coins and bullion coins. Numismatic coins are rare and collectible. Bullion coins are valued for their melt value in silver, gold, and other precious metals.
