The crown jewell of the Capped Bust series. This marriage dominates the top grossing Capped Bust Half Dollar sales. For most, the only way to aquire one is to find one. For many this is the show stopper when it comes to completing a set, even for those with the financial means to afford one.

Variety Attribution O-102: Obverse- 1817 over 14. Scalloped point toward milling. Stars sharp. Date is 9 1/2 mm. and evenly spaced, with the original 4 shwing clearly. The lower left point is distinct in front of the stand of 7. The upper point of 4 above crossbar of 7. The lower right stand and crossbar of 4 show to right of the 7.
O-102a: There is a die crack spanning the entire obverse, from edge above upper peak of cap and running downward across cap, lobe of ear, lower curl and just right of 7 to edge.

Reverse- 50 C. is 1 3/4 mm. Arrow to A is 1/2 mm. The most unusual feature of this reverse is the I's in UNITED and AMERICA have the lower right serifs missing, thus causing them to look like J's. All lettering and devices sharp.
