    I bought it for it's eye appeal. I sold my other one to Robec, Bob, a few years back and I've had a hole in my collection ever since. Not to mention sellers remorse. It's taken this long to find a decent replacement. I'm not about to sell this one anytime soon.
    Thanks again and happy hunting, Joe

    Extremely attractive, and a better date in the series.
    It may be an R1 as a variety, but you don't see many attractive 1814's around.

    I'm thinking if I added that coin to my collection I might just stop.... Find a really comfortable chair and just stare at it thinking it doesn't get any better than this.... Beautiful example.

    Great looking bust half!
    And one of my favorite years too, congrats!

    That can't possibly be a die crack, can it? I've never seen an internal crack that was that thick, and stopped so abruptly. Any different die states?
    I always thought it was an errant tool mark of some kind.

    Yes it's a quite large die break. I bought the coin for its eye appeal. So im not any kinda expert on the varieties. Many people on this board are experts on these capped bust half dollars but it not me.
    No sir.

    Al Overton called it a "die defect ridge". Whatever. It came from die fatigue, not engraver blunder.

    That is a very interesting coin. I am intrigued by the metal flow around the edges and how, on some stars, the point is almost 'dragged' to the edge .... I am sure the metal flow had something to do with the die design.... Cheers, RickO

    Lovely bulls eye toning. I like it a lot. Looks great in hand I would bet. Edit to say looks like old Dansco or newer PCI toning.

    Beautiful coin, Joe. Pretty obvious an 0-103 with the reverse. Congrats, are you spreading out from the herd?
    If so, you have picked a wonderful series of coins.
