    It looks very state quarterish, but I can't seem to find a match.

    For the record I didnt use google search to find it. I looked at the edges, and tons of photos on usacoinbook. the edges and color give it away.

    Whatever it is I like the design!

    thought at first it was the Texas commemorative half $1, but it doesn't match up... I'll have to keep hunting! :)

    @Mr_Spud, I thought that too, but there is an extra device on the Caped Liberty, and those parallel lines look like sun rays, which would suggest Peace dollar, but theres nothing resembling an ear lobe (or leaf) near rays on the reverse of a Peace Dollar .. > @pursuitofliberty said:

    @pursuitofliberty - what say you?

    Capped bust half dollar likely 1814 with 1813 being my second choice.

    Just got home. Looks like some spirted searching.

    Amazingly, that @BustDMs guy was right with his second choice! Not only a Capped Bust Half, but an 1813 too boot!!
