    It's not a quarter, half dollar or dollar.

    I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

    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!

    @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:

    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!!

    Woohoo Brad!!
