<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rcarr, post: 1413674, member: 37398&quot;]I found a 1838 Capped Bust Half Dollar in my collection with some features that (from what I&#039;ve read online) should not be there after 1836. Specifically, it says “50 C.” on the back rather than “HALF DOL.” or “50 Cents”, it has writing around the edge (“FIFTY CENTS OR HALF DOLLAR”), and it has the E. Pluribus Unum banner at the top of the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if there were variants of the 1838 coin like this? It seems like a coin from pre-1836. The bust also looks different from other 1838 coins I&#039;ve seen online. And the &quot;3&quot; in 1838 has a different style (rounded rather than angular top portion). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]171587.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]171586.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
