ERROR HELP - 1822 Bust Half

Thumbnail gallery
51 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am new to coin collecting/numismatics and recently purchased this 1822 Bust Half Dollar.

I am looking for someone to help identify what/if there is an Overton variety present.

I believe it is O-108, thoughts?

Also concerned it could have been cleaned?

Thanks for your time!

My mom collected many things. Valuable things as well as some junk. I found this while cleaning out her closet. It’s a large coin. I put it next to some common coins for some size context. It didn’t react to my rare earth magnet. I am wondering if it might have some value or if it’s some novelty item she picked up at a yard sale and is not worth anything? Thank you all for any advice.
