1818 capped bust half dollar O-107 R-1 w light gold toning at the rims

Description

Up for auction is a very nice 1818 capped bust half dollar. Using the fifth edition of Don Parsley's Overton guide to US Early Half Dollar Varieties, and Glenn Peterson's Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars, I've determined this coin to be O-107. This is an R-1 which in rarity rating is considered common. The coin has light gold toning at the rims. I see evidence of a cleaning at some time in the past. I would grade this coin as an AU. This is a no reserve auction so bid accordingly and have fun. I have other bust half dollars up for auction, so be sure to take a look.
