1819 O-107 R4 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 6
Reverse: F
O-107 R4 is below, O-107a R4? at bottom
This one is slightly less common, but is available in higher grades up to MS66. The later 107a die state appears much less frequently. I have also included a terminal die state at the bottom which some may find rather interesting.

NGC Graded XF45. Nifty original coin with good luster for a 45. Golden green thick toning envelops this early die state.

Variety Attribution: Obverse-Stars all sharp and well formed.Star 13 a scant 1/2 mm from curl. Date is 3/4 mm., evenly spaced and well centered.

O-107a: There is a heavy die crack from edge at star 2, though star to front of bust, then continues in a finer crack across bust, curving down just left of lower curl to left  curve of 9. A second crack curves down through second one.

Reverse-50 C. is 1 3/4 mm. with large round figures. Arrows to A is 1 mm. I centered under T. Lower right serif of A2 notched. Stand and top of 5 clearly recut.

O-107a: Light die crack at top of AMERICA to edge below arrowheads.

There is a later die state with a crack from S13 to nose and stars 5 and 6 to curl which is considered R7.

An even later die state with a more pronounced obverse crack (with apparent metal missing from the die),  die crack from star 13, crack from stars 5-6 to nose (both tough to see on this worn example), and an additional die crack curving above Ms Liberty's cap to Star 8.
