Hey all,
Just one this baby on the bay! It's a very poor counterfeit, as you can see. Once I receive it, I'll get it posted on my Website with comparisons. image

ENJOY!

    An interesting piece, especially with the edge lettering.

    Yeah, that's one of the most interesting features. Also, the "50 Cents" instead of Fifty Cents" on the reserve.

    This piece appears to be the one that is listed as obverse 3 plus reverse C (1838 3/C) in Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust Half Dollars by Keith Davignon. The reverse was also used paired with obverses for 1833, 1836 and 1837.
