1836 Capped Bust Half

What I posted earlier about it being an O-120. I edited my post so much and I noted it as such.

I presume that it is the lettered edge?
Not bad.

 

What lettered edge?

For whatever it is worth, this is what it said in the Auction Guild

836 O-120 VF/XF Bust Half Dollar. A wonderful example of the O-120 variety, with dark surfaces and lots of detail remaining. Overton lists the tell-tale signs of the variety as:
Obverse: Stars are mostly sharp and close to the milling; Star 8 is recut at two upper points; Date 7.5 mm, with the 83 closer than the 18 or 36; Remains of a bar and dot show weakly to the right of the 6.
Reverse: 50 C is a close 1mm, and rather high, with a well formed 5 a large C; I us centered under the left side of T; A in STATES is higher that adjacent T's at both top and bottom; The area between olive leaves and berries is noticeably filled.
The O-120 variety has a R-4- rarity rating, meaning less than 200 are believed to exist. (Photo) †

Look at the edge of the coin it should have: " Fifty cents or Half a Dollar".
If not you got a great buy, if it has reeding.

 

I didn't know that. I'll go look right now.
