Design and Specifications of the 1813 Half Dollar
The 1813 Half Dollar is part of the Capped Bust series, which was introduced in 1807 and continued until 1839. This coin represents an important period in American numismatic history, as it was minted during the War of 1812. The Capped Bust design, created by German-born engraver John Reich, was a significant improvement over the previous Draped Bust design, featuring a more robust and patriotic representation of Liberty.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of an 1813 Half Dollar significantly impacts its value. Due to its age and circulation, finding high-grade examples is challenging. Coins in Mint State (MS) condition are particularly valuable, with premiums for grades MS65 and above.
Key factors affecting value include:
1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full details command higher prices.
2. Luster: Original mint luster is highly prized in uncirculated specimens.
3. Surface preservation: Minimal contact marks or abrasions increase desirability.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value for some collectors.
Mintage: 1,241,903
Rarity Scale: Scarce
Circulation Status: Limited Circulation

Varieties Errors: O-101, O-102, O-103, O-104, O-105, O-106, O-107, O-108, O-109 (Overton varieties)
Market Demand: High, especially for well-preserved specimens
Overton varieties can significantly affect the value of 1813 Half Dollars. Some varieties are rarer and more sought after by specialists. The O-107 variety, for instance, is considered scarcer than others.
The historical context of the War of 1812 adds appeal for collectors interested in early American history. Additionally, as a better date in the Capped Bust series, the 1813 Half Dollar generally commands a premium over more common dates.
The overall scarcity of high-grade examples makes this coin particularly desirable for advanced collectors and investors focusing on early American coinage.
