Actually 288 were produced. Two different finishes of 144 each. Few are for sale, more than 288 collectors of CBHs would like one, although a fantasy issue.
<< <i> “1816” Capped Bust Silver Half Dollars – Production Blog (Production listed in chronological order - newest production at top, oldest production at bottom)
All are over-struck on genuine US Mint Capped Bust Silver Half Dollars (circa 1807-1836). All were broad-struck so the original edge lettering is still visible.
The US Mint produced Capped Bust silver half dollars every year from 1807-1836, except 1816. In early 1816, a fire in the Mint building housing the rolling mills caused the Mint to cease silver and gold coin production until 1817.
Current Status: All production has ended. The dies have been totally defaced and scrapped. Final mintage, for all types combined, is 144. >>

your new here clint, you will find people here are quick to inject their words but very slow to thank someone for correcting them and even slower to admit when they are wrong
regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything
