1827 O-131 R2 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 21 (Second Marriage)
Reverse: X (Second Marriage)

High grade examples are available for this marriage, with a couple MS65's leading the pack. AU's make appearances frequently as well.

NGC Graded AU50. This one defines the "Barn Find" coin. Crusty and original with all the dirt. Bought this one raw on EBAY from an "Estate Sale" back around Y2K. Musings on this coin can be found on my blog HERE
