- 1818 O-108 Inverted Edge Lettering. One bar die was mistakenly installed upside down on the Castaing machine, allowing FIFTY CENTS OR to read upright and HALF A DOLLAR upside down.1818 O-108 Inverted Edge Lettering.

Obverse has some color behind the toning while the reverse is smooth, uniform, and attractive. The right side of the coin has what Edgar Souders describes as an end of strip error, when a small piece of the planchet was missing before being struck, and the small area lacking full detail as a result.New purchase from the FUN show, 1813 O-102 R-3 XF-40 with a mushy, LDS obverse and a crisp, EDS reverse which is what this die marriage is known for.

- Interesting about the “end of strip”.Interesting about the “end of strip”.
- Very interesting indeed! Souders writes about this characteristic in the 2nd edition of Bust Half Fever, mentioning "that occured when a planchet was punched out, towards the end of the silver strip, and the end of the strip was flawed" (391). These types of errors are not too uncommon from my experience.Very interesting indeed!

I just went and looked it up, interestingly enough I had a marker at that page/pic.
Have you heard of a “guido edge” ?[jacrispies] I just went and looked it up, interestingly enough I had a marker at that page/pic. Have you heard of a “guido edge” ? - DChuckA Yes, guido, when the coin fails to complete a full rotation in the Castaing machine. I don't have any good example, but I have my eyes peeled for a dramatic one. Guido is probably the most common of bust half mint errors.[DChuckA] Yes, guido, when the coin fails to complete a full rotation in the Castaing machine.
