Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1818 Capped Bust half dollar is a fairly common date of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $60.00-$85.00, better grade are $145.00-$225.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $450.00-$1,080.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
NOTE: Subtypes for this coin have slightly higher values.
Circulated coins run from $60.00 to $400.00 depending on grade.
