Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 09/02/2009 11:46 pm I agree with F-12 for detail. This coin is somewhat more worn than the 1821 half you also posted. The O-101 variety looks correct. Are those long straight scratches on the reverse through the upper olive leaves and the T in UNITED? The photo makes them look raised like die cracks, but if they were cracks Overton would likely have mentioned them in the O-101 variety description. Report this Post to the Staff

busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 12/02/2009 08:26 am I would have to go with VG-10 due to the amount of hair detail that is present. Wish those scratches wern't there. This is a nice coin though. Report this Post to the Staff

The wear on the wings and the reverse scratches unfortunately are the reason. O-101 also looks correct (I can't see too much of the 8 under the 9 but everything else looks right). This coin does show a nice even strong strike throughout the coin particularly the reverse. Nice for this type! Sweet example of a great coin type! Report this Post to the Staff
