Placid

1833 Early Half Dollar O-115. 5+. Anyone know how to spot this coin from other 1833's?
I have compared the picture for this coin at b&m with one I have but can't seem to find anything different.



The coin at B&M.

On the obverse there is a small split in the curl above the second 3. On the reverse the 5 has a small triangular flag with a pronged point. Kneass experimented with different style flags for the 5, in 1833 almost all of the 14 reverse dies had different style flags. There are also 2 dots between azure 4 and 5.
