RayT17 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 4:52 pm I have been trying to attribute my 1830 capped bust halves, but I am having a hard time determining the difference between a large 0 and a small 0. They all look the same. Any help? Report this Post to the Staff

Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 5:20 pm First off.... I'm not an expert by any means on the attributions, however, these photos may help. This is the large 0. And this is the small 0. We have some other members who may be able to help you much more on this. Good luck and good day! Report this Post to the Staff
