OK Mr Ben, is this an O-105 or the 117?

Looks like a late die state O-105. The same reverse dies were used on both varieties; O-105 and O-117. I'm basing this on (1 & 13) star placement in relation to the bust/curls and star 7 in general.

Same conclusion I came to. Just couldn't get the obv set in my mind. Thanks buddy.

 

No problem Hoss, I really don't think the coin is as worn as were the dies...

 

That is a nice coin - even if the dies were worn. I like em just like that.

 

If the color is the same in hand I love it , very original .

Picture is pretty close to what it looks like in hand. I like em this way too. Couldnt tell for sure with the pictures provided on the bay if it was the O-117 so I took a chance with it. Still a decent R3

 

mmmmm, tasty coin

 

I am not going to look up the dies, but I would like to give my opinion on grade.....

I would say the Obverse is VF20, but the shield on the reverse is worn enough to give the coin a final grade of F12... maybe a little higher.

Kind of a toughy because overall the coin seems to VF details, if it weren't for the total smooth spots on the horizontal lines in the shield
I think it would grade higher.

Do you think this is accurate??
