1812/1 Capped Bust Half Dollar - Small 8 - 2 Over 1 
There were two major varieties of the 1812/1 Capped Bust Half Dollar and both varieties had a 2 Over 1 overdate error in which an 1812 date was struck over an 1811 date. The Small "8" variety depicted above had a smaller number "8" and thinner numbers. The rare and valuable Large "8" variety had a larger number "8" in the date along with thicker letters.
