Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of an 1823 Half Dollar significantly impacts its value. Coins in higher grades (AU and above) are particularly desirable and command substantial premiums. The scarcity of high-grade specimens is due to the long circulation period and the lack of numismatic interest at the time of minting.

Key factors affecting condition include:

1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full details are more valuable.
2. Luster: Original mint luster is highly prized in uncirculated specimens.
3. Surface preservation: Fewer marks, scratches, and abrasions increase value.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance appeal and value.

Varieties Errors: 1823 Broken 3, 1823 Patched 3

Market Demand: High, due to its scarcity and historical significance

The 1823 Half Dollar has some notable varieties that can significantly affect its value:

1. Broken 3 variety: This variety shows a break in the lower part of the 3 in the date. It's scarcer and more valuable than the normal date.
2. Patched 3 variety: This variety shows evidence of the broken 3 being repaired. It's also more valuable than the normal date.

Die state can also impact value, with early die state examples often commanding a premium. Additionally, the historical significance of the Capped Bust series and the general scarcity of early 19th-century U.S. coinage contribute to the strong demand for this issue among collectors and investors.
