bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 9:45 pm I picked these bust halves up today as I was just casually checking out a shop. I paid $90 for the pair. The 1835 looks to be F/VF and an O-105? the 1817 might be G-4, then again might not with that wear pattern, and looks to be an O-103a which is a R3. The I in UNITED not having a lower right serif is what gave that one away. Now since I am new to this, these two are my second and third bust halves respectively and the first two I have tried to attribute on my own, please let me know what you think about the grade, and attribution.

Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 10:25 pm Hey Buddy, Your attribution of the the 1835 looks spot-on. The 1817 looks like an (R-2) O-103 based upon it's Star 13 positioning. I think you got a pretty good/great deal.

bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 09/07/2008 1:11 pm Aren't the O-103 and the 103a the same obv except the dot between the 1 and 7 is obliterated because of the late die state? I keep looking and can maybe see the dot on mine, but I'm not sure if its my eyes putting it there. Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 09/07/2008 1:58 pm You are correct. They both (O-103 nd O-103A) have the same reverse. The dot is only on the O-103. Maybe yours is a O-103A R-3. I can't tell if the dot is there though. Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff

desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 09/07/2008 11:05 pm I hope you don't mind if I enhanced the photo a little contrast and edge enhancement. Might help. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 09/08/2008 09:40 am After looking at the close-ups I don't think it's the 181.7 which is a little better making it the O-103A; R-3 variety. Here is a link which shows the positioning of the the dot in relation to the date. http://coinzip.proboards79.com/inde...&thread=1504 Report this Post to the Staff
