cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 8:37 pm Regarding variety - here's my disclaimer because your pictures are too fuzzy for me to be sure. There were 49 varieties in 1827 Based on what I can see I'm going with O-107 R3. It's really more of a guess than a determination. Hopefully an expert will assist.

noD Pillar of the Community United States 1584 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 11:27 am I'd like to take a stab at variety, if you can post better pics. They're a little blurry. I'd grade it AU, maybe 53. Report this Post to the Staff
noD Pillar of the Community United States 1584 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 12:22 pm I think it' an O-108 or O-108a, might be hard to tell using all but the very best pics. First die marriage obverse look for small dot inner arm of star 1. First die marriage reverse look for multiple dots beneath IT of UNITED. Second die marriage reverse look for partially filled upper portion of F. (referenced The Ultimate Guide To Attributing Bust Half Dollars by Glenn R. Peterson, M.D.) Either is listed as R4 in my old Overton 4th edition. I hope I got it right. Report this Post to the Staff
Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 11:51 am NoD Thanks for all your help.I will try some new photos but I am taking photos with my phone and the glare is tough. I recently got this coin back from Anacs, didn't think about getting the variety on it. They have a great reference library there and anyone is welcome to look at the books. I live only 30 minutes from their building so I think I might ask. Do you think varieties are worth putting on a slab? By the way I don't see a small dot on the inner arm of star 1 or multiple dots beneath IT in United, but I do see a partially filled upper portion of F. The coin graded XF 45. Thanks again.

noD Pillar of the Community United States 1584 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 12:30 pm I think it's worth it to have the TPG note the variety on the slab, and with R4 and higher even more so. The partially filled F makes it an O-108a. Nice coin. Thanks for letting us have a look at it. It must be nice to live 30 minutes from ANACS! Report this Post to the Staff
