echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/28/2009 1:09 pm I need some help classifying this coin, I believe it is O.124, which is rated at R5. Stars are draw to edge and the center line of stripe 4 extends below shield to feather. I would also appreciate a grade. Thanks, Ron Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 09:00 am Certainly looks like the O-124 reverse, but note that O-124 and O-125 share a reverse. The key to differentiating them is that O-125 has a die crack bisecting the T in LIBERTY, extending from the lower left serif up and right through the top right of the T and into the cap. I'm gonna call this an obverse-limited VF30 or 35. As O-125, its' value would be $125-ish; as O-125, add a zero to that. Here's hoping the die crack isn't there. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/29/2009 10:25 am It took a 30 power loupe to spot, but unfortunately there is a crack running through the "T" in LIBERTY. So I guess this is an O.125 and not an O.124. Rarity dropped from an R5 to an R3. Thanks for pointing that out to me Dave. Report this Post to the Staff
