Just got this 200 year old lady in the mail 3 May 08, (1808 O-102A R2). I had to walk to the end of the driveway because the snow was still too deep for the mail delivery car. Anyway, I believe this half is beyond a Late Die State (LDS) and possibly nearing Terminal Die State (TDS)... Check out the obverse crack which goes completely bisects the coin from Lady Liberties head to the date.

Take Care

Not just cracked, but old! Check out the stretching of the obverse stars, the letters in UNITED and 50 C, and the leaves of the olive branch. That is one seriously worn die!

Oh, nice coin! Congratulations on the new acquisition.
