It looks genuine but impaired in some as-yet undetermined fashion.

It's an interesting but extremely common date. The market was already flooded with 61-Os even before the Republic shipwreck coins started turning up.

I would have encouraged you to let this one go. I'm not the only seller with lots of better inventory in this date.

P2, how many 1861-O halves do you have in inventory? I would be interested in having a look at them. Thanks!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'm sticking with XF Details, ED. Could possibly benefit from an Acetone and/or Xylene bath.

Color is very unattractive. A bit of luster around the devices. I agree with Coinfrog, XF-40LLL (Looks Like Lead).
Suffering from bust half fever.
