The Half Dollar is an uncommonly seen denomination of United States currency. The first half dollars were dated 1794 and featured a flowing haired representation of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The rare 1796 and 1797 half dollars featured a different Liberty design. When the denomination was restored in 1801, a heraldic eagle reverse was chosen. The popular Capped Bust half design debuted in 1807 and ended in 1839, with edge and composition changes along the way.
