https://coins.ha.com/itm/early-half...Lot=1x=0&y=0Ok after a little more research I think it's Overton 117a I'm not too sure what the significance of the "a" is however all I know is that this coin looks exactly like the one listed in this auction unfortunately there's only one other coin to compare it to. Yes I'm happy with it, I do not have one of these and on ebay they wanted $100+ for coins that are a lot worse than this one. It will hold me over until I can afford a nicer one.

From your additional comments you are approaching the challenge of nailing down a few older coins. Best of luck to you finding what you like.

Very nice coin for the price! Chesterb - thanks for the site link, you just helped me attribute my 1827 bust half as Overton 101, 7 over 6. Much appreciated.

Yeah thanks Chesterb that website was really helpful!! Thank you eveyone for your comments! I do like this coin and I choose to look past the scratch and focus on the reverse because I find that side more appealing. I should have the coin in hand on Thursday and I'll be sure to post new pics

I just wanted to let you guys know the coin came today! I'm very satisfied, save for the scratch on the obverse.
For a 200+ year old coin with only 64-80 known I'm very happy with the price. I'll post more pictures of it tomorrow, thanks for looking!

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
