So after the slab cracked it sat for a short while and developed a tone on the reverse. I sent it back to have it holdered again. This is how it resides now.
I dig it..
Ken, the original coin, as you may already know, is a 26-110 ... which was what I started to what to share with you on Saturday.
The mistaken reverse image was a little more difficult to identify, but I am certain it is a 1817 O-112a ... and showing with quite a bit more clashing and of a later state than any of the images I have referenced for that DM/DS. And frankly, it took me a little bit of sleuthing to find that reverse crack.
For those interested ... the first tell on the image mismatch? 1826's do not have the type of logotype for "50 C." on the reverse as the original images had shown, so once I realized that was what looked off, I knew there was something wrong.

Hey! Ken!! @Copperindian
This bothered me yesterday because as I was trying to attribute your coin, and it didn't make sense.
But my Brother and Sister in Law were on their way and I put it down to I was having a brain-f*** and I'd come back to it later.
That is NOT the reverse of your wonderful looking 1826 CBH in the P63cac OGH.
I don't know if you mixed it up, or if the seller to you did, or maybe this is a trick Halloween trick? ... but that reverse isn't from an 1826.

@lermish Yeah, I found the 2020 sale, so I knew. Yesterday I just knew it wasn't a '26 reverse.
For various reasons I wanted to make sure Ken knew, but didn't feel like it was mine to post.

Oops, edited. Good point.

@pursuitofliberty: OK Todd, how about this one?
I mixed it up with another OGH rev in my inventory too!
Can you tell what the date is on the one I posted erroneously? (my bet would be yes).
Anyway, nice catch
Ken

@pursuitofliberty:
Hi Todd - I just knew you would know! Awesome analysis!
Here’s the other side of my erroneous reverse from the original post (the other side of the coin)
:
For those who may have missed it, I posted the correct reverse in an earlier post above.
Ken (with apologies for my error, but Todd to the rescue)
