I pulled out some of my bust half dollars and placed them side by side. On the reverse, the C in 50 C definitely looks much larger on the left coin. I also notice on the left coin that the M in AMERICA just overlaps the motto border below it, while the other does not.
So is this the rare variety?

<< <i>But isn't the large C in 50C a diagnostic, as shown in coin facts? >>
I never use that as a diagnostic. The key to determining if you have the Large Letters reverse is the distance between D in UNITED and the first S in STATES. Only on the Large Letters reverse are those two letters nearly touching.

See how UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is crowded together on the large letters 1830? Very little space between words. That is easy the diagnostic.

I have one last one to post. Is this 1808 a O-110 due to the small dot above the left wing?

<< <i>ok thanks. What about the 1808? >>
The 1808 is not O.110. I don't know off hand what variety it is, but the T-I relationship is not right for O.110.
