1828 O-122 R3, Square Base 2, Small 8's, Large Letters, Capped Bust Half Dollar

Obverse: 13 (Second Marriage)
Reverse: S
There is a pretty nice handful of Gems at the top of the census, and AU's appear enough on the market to obtain decent examples.

PCGS Graded AU50. This one is from the Stu Witham collection. It has a cartwheel of rainbow colors on top of rather deep toning. He had noted it as an AU55. Wear is nearly undetectable. It is rather difficult to make out the rim break at stars 5 and 6. Yes there is a minor scratch that is exaggerated by huge images and bright lighting.....
