Design and Specifications of the 1818 Half Dollar
The 1818 Half Dollar is part of the Capped Bust series, which was minted from 1807 to 1839. This design, created by German-born engraver John Reich, represented a significant artistic improvement over its predecessor, the Draped Bust Half Dollar. The year 1818 falls within the early period of the Capped Bust Half Dollar production, when the coins were still being struck on a screw press, resulting in some variations in strike quality.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1818 Half Dollars. Coins in higher grades (AU and above) are significantly more valuable due to their scarcity. Strike quality can vary, with some coins showing weakness in certain areas, particularly on the eagle's wings and claws. Luster is an important factor, with original, frosty surfaces being highly prized by collectors. Natural toning can also add to the coin's appeal and value, especially if it's attractive and even.
Mintage: 1,960,322
Rarity Scale: Uncommon
Circulation Status: Moderate Circulation
Preservation Rarity: Scarce in grades MS65 and above
Varieties Errors: 1818/7 Overdate, 1818/5 Overdate
Market Demand: Moderate, with higher demand for overdate varieties and high-grade specimens
The 1818/7 and 1818/5 overdate varieties are particularly valuable and sought after by collectors. These varieties show clear evidence of the underlying digits and command significant premiums over the regular issue. Die states and die cracks can also be of interest to specialized collectors. Some 1818 Half Dollars exhibit interesting die cracks, especially later die states, which can add to their collectibility. Provenance can also play a role in value, with coins from famous collections or with a documented history often commanding higher prices at auction.
