"Capped Bust" refers to the image of Liberty represented on the obverse of the coin. A similar image was used for all US silver coins between about 1807 and about 1839. This is a pointer to an image of a Capped Bust dime - the picture of Liberty is quite similar on the half dollar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Capped_Bust_dime.jpg
