1814 O-107 R2 Capped Bust Half Dollar


Obverse: 6
Reverse: G
O-107' (no die chip in N) R7? top, O-107 R2 middle, O-107a (die chip at nose) R5 bottom.
The middle die state is by far the most common, and also sports a few gems at the top of the census including an MS66. A collector could just concentrate on this one die marriage if he or she so chooses, with the various stages of die wear, chipping, and clash marks present on the dies.
