1826 O-110 R2 Capped Bust Half Dollar
Obverse: 7
Reverse: J
This one is readily available in higher grades up to a pair of MS67's and even a few 66's.
NGC Graded XF45. Nice original coin with borderline AU luster. It is an important coin to have since the Overton 4th edition has an incorrect picture of the reverse for this variety.

In the 4th edition of the Overton/Parsley book, the picture is not reverse J in the illustration, but is actually reverse K. The above is the actual coin, so it is the proper reverse.

There are some examples exhibiting the die cracks on the obverse of O-111, and this die state is considered the O-110a, R6?
One crack joins end of bust and all stars on left. Another from drapery to top of 182, then to lower curl and stars 12 through 8. Finally a crack extending edge to edge horizontally across top of cap.
