syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 08/02/2016 11:05 pm I was looking at this coin and the seller states it is an O-107. The coin is not the highest grade, and the pics are not the greatest so it is hard to definitively tell. But something looks off from a 107 to me. The date spacing looks different with the digits on the subject coin much more evenly spaced. A 107 should have a noticeably larger space between 1-8 and the rest, particularly larger than 0-9. T-I looks a bit off with the I too far to the left but very hard to tell from the pics. And there is no marker to the left of "C." but that may be due to the lower grade. Any bust experts out there that can help out? The last two pics are from PCGS coinfacts. If I can get better pics of the subject coin I will post them. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

My eyes might be playing tricks on me but I think I am seeing pick up points that lead me to say it might be O-107A http://maibockaddict.com/1809-o-107...i-edge.shtml Report this Post to the Staff
AcesKings Pillar of the Community United States 1629 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 3:57 pm Hard to see anything in those pics, but I THINK it looks more like an O-111. Star 7 is in the wrong position for O-107, and note the defect to the left of the lower curl. Report this Post to the Staff

syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 10:13 pm AcesKings, you are spot on. The seller just corrected it to a O-111a. I'm impressed. Report this Post to the Staff
