1830 O-103 R1 Small 0 Capped Bust Half Dollar
Obverse: 2
Reverse: C
Seems to be one of the easiest 1830's to obtain with many specimens in high grade up through MS66.
PCGS Graded AU55. A heavily and deeply toned example that looks almost like a piece of candy. Other than the toning and muted luster, there aren't any marks of note.
