1824 O-107 R2 Capped Bust Half Dollar
Obverse: 6
Reverse: F
Apart from a couple of MS64's and a handful of other MS specimens, this one is rather tough to find problem free in higher grades. There have been a couple of recent AU55's that were sold, but apart from that it seems most of these have been out of site for some reason. Maybe the rarity should be R2? rather than R2. R4 anyone?
