1832 O-103 R1 Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 2
Reverse: C
A very common die marriage that appears frequently for sale. There is at least a pair of MS66's and a group of MS65's as survivors, topping the census. There are enough of these showing up in the sales record to aquire one at any time desired, and in any problem free grade.

NGC Graded AU55. A nice original gray dirt coin. Toning does subdue the luster somewhat. Has an older serial number suggesting an original grading from the mid 90's. Looks like a little bit of "guido" action going on with this one, as the word HALF seems to be incomplete, or even struck over the word "OR".
