This 1830 Capped Bust Half Dollar is certified AU55 by NGC and attributed as Overton-115 (Small O). A classic early U.S. type coin, it shows sharp detail with only light wear on the highest points, retaining much of its original luster.
The Small O reverse is a recognized die variety, distinguishable by the smaller mintmark placement beneath the eagle’s scroll. Collectors prize these varieties for the insight they provide into early minting practices and the artistry of the series.
At the AU55 level, this coin strikes an excellent balance—high-end eye appeal with sharp detail, yet far more affordable than strictly Mint State examples.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’

He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!)

‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
