1831 O-120 R6 Capped Bust Half Dollar
Obverse: 12
Reverse: F (Third Marriage, first used in 1830 O-109 as Rev I, then on O-107 1831)
This one is a tough marriage that seldom appears in any grade. Higher grades are nearly impossible. Look for cherry opportunities as 1831's (as most of the later dates) are tougher to determine die pairings)
