Is this an O-104a?
VF 20, maybe higher.

I'm seeing F-15 with an easy attribution of O-104a die state 2 indicated by the sweet die crack on the obverse. Nice Bust half!

 F-15 Does it have a die crack in the right stars? What about the crack under the clasp going diagonally ? Could it be a O-104b? I'm not too experienced with this, so I might be mistaken. -MV

Because you asked: the right side stars. Yes, there is a crack between most of the right stars. (Sorry, not the best picture...)...

I agree with F-15 for grade. Purchased as an Overton 104b. Rarity 7. (The rarity is my main reason for purchase!)  Note: This coin puts my 1818 CBH collection at 12 different Overtons...

It won't be long before you are a member of the Bust Half Nut Club Moe.
I wasn't 100% sure on the id at the time--I noticed the die crack in the stars but it didn't seem to match the O-104a photos I was looking at, so I did a search for O-104b and I thought it was a match.
I came across a O-104b for sale by a dealer and my jaw dropped at the price he was asking. He had it graded AU-55, but it wasn't certified.

Just a note: Of 765 attributed 1818's in Heritage archives, only two were O-104. Just sayin'.
