1807-1836
Reich’s half-dollar is one of the most highly
collected of our nation’s early coinage. These coins were
produced with screw presses, and each die that struck coins
was individually made with the lettering, date and stars
punched into the die by hand. This process led to a huge
number of varieties. The myriad of varieties allow the Bust
Half specialists to know exactly which die struck any given
coin. The issue ran unbroken for 30 years except in 1816 when
a fire at the Mint prevented production. Although most of this
series was used in daily commerce, their use was quite
restricted because their face value was close to a half-day’s
pay for a large number of working Americans.
