1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-103. Rarity-1. MS-62 (PCGS).An otherwise golden-tinged example with warmer champagne-apricot and charcoal-blue toning at the upper obverse and lower reverse borders. Satiny and lustrous with a bold to sharp strike. Although O-103 is a plentiful die marriage for the 1812 half dollar, early date Capped Bust issues are far more challenging to locate in attractive Mint State preservation than those from the late 1820s and 1830s.
