I received some bust halves on consignment yesterday. Having trouble attributing some and just want to make sure. I believe the 1806 is the O-116, 1807 is O-112, 18.11(/10) is an O-102, but the 1825 I have absolutely no clue! I would really appreciate assistance on attribution. Thanks!
Lovely coins! Here are my attributions, with a few key pick up points. 1806, O-116, R-3 Obverse: Distinctive die crack. Recut T. Defect above 6 (as seen on earlier Obverse 9 die states), is no longer present. Reverse: 5 berries. Star point to tip of beak. Point of leaf under I just left of center. Bottom right serif of F missing. 1807, O-112, R-1 Obverse: Left serif of 1 present. Reverse: 5/Inverted 5 (AKA 50/20). Large dot near junction of left wing and shield. 1811/10 (18.11), O-101, Late Die State Obverse: Strong dot between 8 and 1 narrows it down to O-101 and O-102. Reverse: T/I, Scroll, A/Arrow postitions match Reverse A (O-101) 1825, O-115, R-3 Obverse: 5 tipped sharply to the left. Sharp points on curl and serif of 2. Star positions Reverse: T/I position (left sides in line) Best wishes, Jesse

I agree with CB Jesse on the 1806 , at 1st I thought it was the O-115 but the top berries have thinner stems . So O-116 is correct , good eye Jesse .
