  Looks like an O.106 to me.

  106 for sure the leaves on the reverse are the definitive give away....

  Yep, 106 no doubt...but is there any way to tell if it's 106a in the holder ? I was on my way over to coinzip...but thought I'd see what the forum had to say !

  I agree with you boys, it is the O-106 marriage, but I believe it is the a-DS R3. The flat rims on both sides certainly make it the a-DS. Aren't these Capped Bust Half Dollars fun?

  I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

  I was hoping you'd chime in Tom...I couldn't decifer if the flat areas were meant to be along the rim, or on the edge itself.

  USA, Capped Bust half dollar, 1810.
  
  There. I just attributed it for you. You're welcome.
  
  
  Srsly, tho', if YOU don't know the variety number on it, I'm sure I don't!
  
  Great lookin' "crusty" with semi-CircCam contrast, though.

  It wasn't so much the # as the letter...M'Lord.

  I doubt you will get total agreement on the die state of your coin. For some of us, certainly the reverse rim flattening by the leaves appears to say the LDS. Obviously, determining the DS on this marriage is much easier on higher grade coins, and even more so on raw coins. The Bust Nuts simply say the LDS has rim flattening anywhere.
  
  In any case, I doubt this coin is worth much extra if it is considered the EDS. There simply are not that many collectors interested in die states, especially those DS that are not obvious. Any die state listed in the REDBOOK will definitely bring extra bucks, like the Single Leaf reverses. Consider the 1836 O-116 50/00 R2. The O-116a lapped die is R6, but it is not showing any of the 50/00. A serious DS collector will certainly pay up for such an example, but most everyone else would much prefer to see the 50/00, and also have the reverse details much stronger. I never even bother to look for the LDS O-116a.
