This lady just arrived today and my guess of the variety is O-102. I'd appreciate your opinions on the grade.

Reverse is very nice and a solid VF. Obverse looks Fine with possible environmental damage. I could see it as a 15 or a 20 with F15 being the conservative grade.

I think it might squeak through as a VF-20

Solid VF20.

I also agree with O-102 (R2). Diagnostics all match, IMO.

Some diagnostics for 1821 O-102 R2:

Obverse: Star 1 points to lower half of dentil. Clasp is doubled around 5 o'clock. Centering dot on neck. (Obverse shared with O-101.)

Reverse: A die line joins "M" and "E" at top. Small lumps in field below "NI". "I" centered under left side of "T" (Reverse shared with O-106)

Thanks - I guess I got too focused on the incredible details in the stars and that made me think of a higher grade.
