1815/2 United States Capped Bust 50c Fifty Cent Half Dollar Silver Coin struck in solid .900 Silver Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PCGS as MS63 Overton 101a.
Low Mintage year due to the War in 1812 with the United States and Great Britain.
The 1815 Capped Bust Half Dollar were actually delivered in January of 1816 just prior to the Mint fire.
The war of 1812 with the United States and Great Britain caused silver bullion hoarding and there was no silver available through most of 1815 to mint coins.
With a mintage of only 47,150, all were produced with the single die pair that features an overdate with the remains of a 2 under the 5 of the date, making every 1815 an 1815/2
This issue is the lowest mintage among circulation strikes in the Capped Bust Half Dollar series.
