mattsobo New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/06/2018 11:37 pm Hello everyone, I recently purchased this coin, and I was wondering what overton variety this half is. I looked at a couple websites that listed several of the overton varities, but I couldn't find one that matched. So I figured I would check with some experts here. Thanks for any help in advance!

Whenever possible,remove coin from whatever type of holder it is in before taking pics.Also,it is best to flatten staples so they do not damage other coins in 2x2's. Give it a bit and some members will help you with your question. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

mattsobo New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 11:17 pm Here are some pictures outside of the holder, since I was taking the coin out of the holder anyways I decided to use my usb microscope. It's not the best quality microscope, but I think these pictures are better then the ones I first Posted. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

mattsobo New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 10:10 am Thanks, it's an andonstar 2.0 megapixel USB microscope. Got it off ebay for 70$. Plan to get an upgrade with my tax return :). Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5671 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 2:33 pm Great close up photos. It's definitely an O-116 based on the position of the stars and reverse letters, appearance of the arrowheads, and raised base of the A in STATES. Very late die state. Report this Post to the Staff
mattsobo New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 4:05 pm Awesome thanks! Think I'll hang on to this one for a while... Just love how dramatic it is. Report this Post to the Staff
mattsobo New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 4:18 pm Oh I had one more question about this coin, I noticed that the nose,lips and the E in liberty seemed doubled. Just curious if it's some type of error or normal for this variety. Report this Post to the Staff
