1828 Capped Bust Half O.119 Small Letters Reverse

[23Pairer]

Just got this from Stu Keen, and the template is courtesy of Space Monkey. A tough die marriage, the only small letters reverse of the 1828, and necessary for a variety set, a Redbook Collection, and a Dansco Album of Early Half Dollars.

I like the reverse.

Great looking coin and pic!

 

It's interesting that this "filled A" reverse die was later used on an 1829 half, as well.

Not that much later...in fact, the 1828-119 was actually minted in 1829 rather than in 1828.

I actually saw your pics on coinzip first. That is a toughie that gets a hefty premium. Nice example!
