1826 O-112 R2 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 8
Reverse: L
O-112 R4+? below, O-112 Intermediate Die state with the first S in STATES filled, at middle, O-112a R2 bottom

Overall an R2, but may be rather scarce without the first S in STATES filled. High grade examples up to MS65 have made appearances in recent auctions. Many examples show the S filled but not the N which is considered an intermediate die state, and is somewhat common.
