A scarce early Philadelphia issue from the first years of the United States Mint, this 1797 Draped Bust Half Dollar (50C) represents a cornerstone type coin for collectors of early Federal silver. Struck during a formative period of American coinage, it carries the bold artistry of the Draped Bust design and the historical appeal of a denomination that circulated widely in the young republic.

"Rarity and Survival"
With an original mintage of 2,984 pieces, the 1797 half dollar is widely recognized as a challenging early date. Of those struck, it is estimated that probably fewer than 200 survive today in all grades, underscoring the strong collector demand for problem-free, accurately graded examples.

Finer at PCGS: 31 higher
"Eye Appeal and Color"
Expect classic early silver character, with attractive medium silver-gray toning often accented by deeper gunmetal or subtle slate hues in protected areas, consistent with a circulated Draped Bust half dollar of this era.
