    I really appreciate the background on this coin - it's helpful to know that the overdate is really the only especially rare version - of which this coin is not. Disappointing but helpful to know. I would appreciate advice on how to proceed with the info/skills that I have. Does NGC have a service for the case where I am not an expert and don't know what exactly the coin is? For them to identify and grade it, so I can value it? Or is there a better way to approach this situation? Thank you.

    Wow, friends! I can't begin to express my gratitude for sharing your expertise. I've learned much reading through your comments. Though I'm disappointed that it isn't a more valuable coin, this saved me some headache. @Sandon I especially thank you for gentle teaching towards finding the right coin. It wasn't clear to me there were so many different variations! After looking at the variations in the link @EagleRJO provided, I'm fairly certain it's in fact an 1812 O-109a. The upturned 1's are the tell. I think @Just Bob could be correct about 1812 O-103, but 109a seems to match closer to my eye... Might I be on the right track?

    1. Is this a "2 Over 1 - Large 8" version of the Capped Bust Half Dollar? 2. There is a large round stain on the rear - I'm guessing perhaps from another coin in the box it was stored in. Any idea on if can be cleaned and how/should? 3. What would you grade this coin? Thank you!
