Thanks for further thoughts and opinions. All welcomed and much appreciated.
Having looked through that book, Altaira, I think it most closely aligns with 8a (obverse) and 6 (reverse) on page 55. The photos were just a little too fuzzy to make much of.
It was also weirdly hard to navigate the page. There was a scroll up, but not a scroll down, I could use an arrow up or down for a press or two, but then it started moving the whole page. I could zoom in, but I couldn't maximise the "video". I was able to have a look at it all, but it was peculiar. Good resource, though. Cheers.
I also had to go have a look at photograde on PCGS to get a better understanding of what they meant about the fonts on the reverse. I only have a few Seated Liberty half dimes, so I didn't realise the variability in the fonts or the dates, for that matter. Dates really moved around a lot even in a given year, including 1849. And the reverse fonts varied wildly.
I'm still wondering what the little dag at the right of the 9 is. Is that PMD?
Here's another, better photo of the reverse.
