1808 Capped Bust Half Dollar VF30

An early die state, with no sign of the obverse die crack that's diagnostic of O-102a. A rare variety. Only one sale reported since the Reiver collection was auctioned in January, 2006. Problem-free but an old cleaning. Now light tan. Just a bit dull, but still with faint traces of gold luster. No notable marks or other distractions
