1827 O-112 R3 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 8
Reverse: K (Second Marriage)
O-112 R3 below, O-112a R4 at bottom
There is a decent group of AU and MS coins available, with the 112a die state being much less common. The finest is an MS66.

NGC Graded XF45. Another nice old barn find. Crusty and original, and someone tried removing a spot on the reverse to see what was under it and found untoned silver!
