1827 O-127 R5 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 4 (Second Marriage)
Reverse: U 
A tough marriage, with a single MS example at the top of the census. The recent Skidaway Island sale actually had three problem free examples for sale. They can be cherried if one is on the ball, but still hard to come by and there is a rather steep premium.
