by R-121, I presume that you mean O-121 (for Overton), and no it is not 121, the branch over the C on the reverse is too far right for the 121.

Also, the I in Pluribus is to the right, in the book it is to the left.

so, not reverse U, also look at the center of the 3, the center point is too blunt and long for the Obverse 18.

I try some more, but it is a tough year to check, I hate the 1834, very tough year.

 

Yes frank I have most of my Book packed up.what if and Overton# do you think it is????

 

Jello:
I didn't notice that it was you.
Tough date.


I think that it is O-111, obverse 10, rev K.

It is an R-1.

 

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:kewl:

 

My pleasure.

But--------

I always re-check it in a day or two, just to be sure.
I have screwed up before.


Jim:
Where are ya to check on me?

 

NIce coin - could it be the O-111? Just glancing at coinzip.

 

You posted Frank while I was working my way thru coinzip on the 1834's.

 

Your correct Frank. The giveaway on the O-111 is the second T in Trust tipping to the left.

As for Grade. VG with scratch on reverse.

Huh?

Wasn't that motto about 30 years later?

Or did you mean States?

 

OK OK.. So the Jamez meister made a typo.. LOL.. but trust has two t's too!

How long did you look for the word trust on the coin ? LOL...

 

Vg-8

 

I think it's a solid F using the Bonedigger grading system for bust halves.

 

you really had me, I thought that I needed new glasses!


Well, I can cancel the eye-doc appointment that I just made.
