1822 O-101 R1 "1822 over 1" Capped Bust Half Dollar
Obverse: 1

This is a common die marriage with even a few graded MS66 at the top. Because of the inclusion of this as an overdate, it is in demand.

1822 O-101 Die Crack
Above is the supposed overdate 2, and it is not easy to notice.
Variety Attribution: Obverse-Point of star 7 is close to front edge of cap. Star 13 has a blunt point very close to curl. Date is 8 1/2 mm. and second 2 is heavier, especially noticeable at base. Edge of first cut 1 is visible at lower right curl of 2. There was debris caught up in the die at the second 2 making collectors later on think that this is an overdate when it really is not. The above example does not show it very well.
Reverse- 50C is 1 3/4 mm. Arrow to A is 1/4 mm. There is hardly any extra space between words of legend. A center dot is between crossbars 4 and 5 at left. Crossbar 4 extends about 1 1/2 mm. into the right wing. Some specimens show a fine die break through 50 C.
