1819/8 Half Dollar With Dot In 8?

Looks like a die chip to me. Check to see if that is normal for the variety or if there is another variety that takes the die chip into account.

Here is something that may be useful. Check out O-106. I think I see a die chip in the upper loop of the first 8.

Yes varieties can add value to a coin, depending on the rarity. I have a coin that is questionable in its variety. If it is one variety, it is worth $50, but if it's the other rarer variety, then it is worth at least $1500. So, yes, varieties do have an impact on a coin's volume.

The presence or absence of a die chip in the writeup for a given Overton doesn't necessarily prove or disprove its' existence. If you can, please post full-face images of the coin for attribution purposes. O-106 has a die defect over the second 1 and doubling in the 8 which yours does not show; I don't think it's O-106.

Here are the full-faced pictures!

Thanks for all the help! Is it true that the O-105 isn't really an overdate, but is instead just a die crack in the 9? Just curious!

Ive also noticed that this coin has slightly rotated dies. I tried to measure it, and I may not be 100% accurate, but it is rotated about 30°. I know its nothing major like 90 or 180° but to my knowledge it is above mint tolerance. Is this series known for having rotated dies like this, or us it something more on the scarcer side?

Thanks Moe145! My coin looks exactly like yours, so now I am 100% confident mine is an O-105! And I'm assuming that rotated dies are fairly common then, but would being at arpund 30° add any value at all to the coin, seeing that it is double the mint tolerance? And What do you believe the value of mine is? The place I got it from had it graded at VG -10. Any help with this is appreciated, and even if the coin is nothing special, its still a really cool piece to me!
