Off the top of my head I know there are not many varieties in 1828 just two, three at the most. The Coinfacts website could tell you how many but probably won't have the pictures up any longer (more and more of their pictures are disappearing.)

 

There are 3 varieties of 1828, none of which are rare in low grades. C2, the 12-starred variety, can command a small premium over the other two when circulated because it's a redbook variety and kind of neat as a mint-made die blunder.

If anyone wants to see some really ugly low-grade half cents (and some not-so-ugly) watch Coin Chat tonight for a post about my trip to EAC. If I'm able to get pictures taken I'll have them up this evening.

My show recap is here, pictures with more information are here (the pics between the threads are the same, the information is different), and discussion of the new literature I picked up is here.
