1825 O-108 R3 Capped Bust Half Dollar
Obverse: 6
Reverse: H
PCGS Graded AU55. Ex-Don Frederick. He notes: Old superb toning, AU55. Looks like a nice barn find to me. Heritage notes: The dies are perfect with only faint flowlines drawing the stars and letters to the border. Deep gray-gold surfaces have peripheral steel toning on both sides.
