1832 O-104 R3 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 2 (Second Marriage)
Reverse: B
This marriage is rather tough in grades above XF. Few AU and MS examples show up on the market with perhaps a single MS64 at the top, so if you see a nice AU or MS, snag it!

PCGS Graded AU58. Very thick crust on this one, with a ton of color. Only very slight rub and no marks. Luster is pretty complete and makes the 58 grade.
