deathwaterkeg2 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 4:55 pm I just got this in the mail today, and since I never held a capped bust half (thank you Joe2007 for correcting me) before it was a little different, like it's a tiny bit bigger then modern half dollars, I did the silver ping test and it sounds real, and it has words on the rim, I would just like everyone's opinion on it thank you, and if someone can help confirm the date It would be much appreciated, thank you! those pictures represent the size.

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 5:35 pm It is a Capped Bust Half. Not sure about the date. Genuine but due to the damage it's value is diminished. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 8:49 pm I agree with others....date damage severely diminishes the value....Looks like a 1830 or 1831...but damage has been done.. sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 10:02 pm By the reverse legend smaller lettering and style of the remaining date numerals, it's an 1834, 1835 or 1836. Definitely not an 1830. Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 10:09 pm It's an 1836 Overton 114 R2 Not worth a lot due to the damage, but still a piece of history. Report this Post to the Staff
