dar76124 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 11:44 am I have been trying to identify the Overton number for this half and I have to admit that I'm lost. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 12:10 pm http://maibockaddict.com/1818-cappe...ollars.shtml Start with the T I alignment on Reverse. Looks like 109 but hard to be exact with your angled pics I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 12:19 pm This looks like 106a to me. Doesn't quite match 109, star 1 is too close to the bust, and it's missing the triple segment above R on the reverse as well as the crack above states. Report this Post to the Staff
dar76124 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 12:31 pm I think you are correct with 106a. The die crack about states seems to match other examples online. Thanks for your help Report this Post to the Staff
