OK, you'll have to do this for me: I need to know if you can see recutting on Star 10. Star 1 is on the left, closest to the bust, and it counts clockwise from there. Star 10, then, is the 4th one counterclockwise from the last 2 in the date. What it will look like is as if they'd cut one star, changed their mind and recut a second one rotated a little clockwise. You should see 3 "extra" points at 9:00, 7:00 and 5:00. That will nail the attribution. It sure looks like O-103, though.

To maximize resale value, you'd have to get it in front of a serious Bustie collector (which is to say, almost all of them ). Off the top of my head, this is a $300 coin to the right buyer. It would be far more attractive if surrounded by a PCGS slab. |

Thanks for the info! I was just curious about value. I'm not a seller. I get attached to all of them!

OK, no need to slab then. Just be aware this is one of the stoppers for the series - the stopper for that date - and it places you in a good position to collect 99 more varieties to be eligible for the Bust Half Nut Club.  |

I believe I probably have close to 99 varieties right now. I'll have to count, but not sure how ill prove it. I'm not taking 200 pics! : )

If you're serious about it, membership in the BHNC is different than most other organizations. You need to be personally sponsored by an existing member, and an existing member (usually your sponsor) has to personally verify that you have the collection to qualify.

I'm sure that you are not that far away. This coin is magnificent. To have such a rarity (R5-31 to 80 in existence) is the mark of a very nice collection! Condition=VF25 in my opinion - a very nice coin indeed!  |

Susan, I had it 5 higher (like usual ) but it occurs to me that the clasp doesn't suffer much from a weak strike. I paid too little attention to it, being distracted by the strong reverse. I concede this one. |
