Owner Comments:

This one has AU58 wear, but with the heavy dark toning, it is nearly impossible to find luster. The detail is fantastic. All the cracks for the "A" model are there, but some are difficult to see under the oxidation.James Madison wins the presidential election of 1808 over Charles Coatsworth Pinkney. The US Slave Trade with Africa ends. The second and final year of the first design of the Capped Bust Half Dollar.
