mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/24/2015 07:56 am Hi, Please check out this half and tell me if you think this coin is an O-103a. Also let me know the rarity (R) number. Last of all, should I send this one out to PCGS for a grade and attribution or would it be a waste of money? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 2:31 pm I truly feel that these new 'scans' (as opposed to the initial 'photos') better show the cracks and clashes that should assist in identifying this variety. The only features lost in these new scans are the very slight toning and light luster of the patina especially apparent on the obverse. In addition to answering my initial questions please opine on what might be the most likely source of those obverse scratches running along ear, neck and breast. Also, how would these obv. scratches affect the grade and retail value of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 07:40 am Well guys, this one has been out there for over a month now w/o getting any feedback whatsoever. I am pretty new to attributing these Bust halves and fear that I could have possibly assigned an incorrect Overton number. If anyone would like to attempt to answer my questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2364 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 12:56 pm I use the Parsley book and would agree with O-103a R-3. I can't see the reverse dentils to confirm alignment of A1,A2, and A3 but the T/I alignment matches Reverse B. The scratches do reduce the value and it would get a details grade by a TPG in my opinion. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 2:22 pm I was hoping that someone might say that the scratches came from the die because some of the lines appear to stop and start near the devices. I promise to post the slab when I receive it. Thanks to all who responded. I appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff
