Design and Specifications of the 1835 Half Dollar
The 1835 Half Dollar is part of the Capped Bust series, which was minted from 1807 to 1839. This coin represents a significant period in American history, as the country was expanding and experiencing economic growth under President Andrew Jackson's administration. The Capped Bust design, created by German-born engraver John Reich, was widely admired for its artistic merit and became a staple of early 19th-century American coinage.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of an 1835 Half Dollar. While the coin is relatively common in circulated grades, specimens in uncirculated condition are scarce and highly sought after by collectors. Coins with strong strikes, minimal contact marks, and original luster command significant premiums.
The presence of attractive natural toning can also enhance the value, particularly for high-grade examples. Conversely, coins with heavy wear, cleaning, or damage are less desirable and valued closer to their silver content.
Mintage: 5,352,006
Rarity Scale: Common
Circulation Status: Widely Circulated
Preservation Rarity: Scarce in grades MS65 and above
Varieties Errors: Small Date, Large Date, and Small 5C varieties
Market Demand: Moderate, with higher demand for high-grade specimens
Variety collectors may pay a premium for the different date sizes and the Small 5C variety. The quality of strike is particularly important for this issue, as some coins may exhibit weakness in certain areas, especially on the reverse.
Historical significance adds to the appeal of this coin, as it represents a period of economic growth and westward expansion in the United States. Additionally, provenance can play a role in value, with coins from famous collections or with a documented history potentially commanding higher prices at auction.
