<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 255061, member: 1242&quot;]cfdmike,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not great at attributing Bust Halves but I am nearly 100% certain that the coin in question is not a &quot;Large Letter&quot; Variety! This Variety is very rare and expensive and I have only seen a couple, one that Larry Briggs with SEGS had in his&#039; showcase at the Chattanooga Coin Show and the other one which had been submitted to him for certification and grading. If my memory serves me correctly, AMERICA and especially the first &quot;A&quot; is much larger than the letters in &quot;UNITED STATES OF&quot;. Also, there is a very noticeable difference (being larger) in the size of &quot;50C&quot; on the &quot;Large Letter&quot; Variety and the opening of the &quot;C&quot; is extremely large. Many Coin Collectors and Dealers alike, mis-attribute this rare Variety and think it should be exactly like the 1832 &quot;Large Letter&quot; Variety Half Dollar in which the Letters &quot;U&quot; in UNITED virtually touches the Eagle&#039;s wing and the last &quot;A&quot; in AMERICA touches the Arrow Head.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
