Can somebody help me identify my Bust half Dollar?

Sorry can't help other than it's a reeded edge

 

Can you get pics with more light on the coin ? Not flash. Coins are very dark to see needed details.

Might be a O-111 ( OBV. 7 Rev. I )

 

Here are better pics

 

I think these new pics still look like the O-111 in the 5th edition of the Don Parsley book. And on Bust Half Addict's website.

What is on the NGC label ? AU-58 ?

 

Au55

 

I Think you are correct I believe it is also an 0–111. Thank you for your assistance

 

It is an NGC AU 55

 

It is a lettered edge coin right, not the reeded edge.

 

Yes letter to edge not rated. It was my first post I will get more information next time I post. Thanks again

 

Not reeded

 

I sent a PM to Dave at Bust Half Addict's website to view your thread for his opinion on the Overton number. It may take a few days till he sees it.


Ps: Welcome John

I see you just joined today. What other coins do you collect ?

 

I am not an advanced collector. I work for a small coin shop, and love to find varieties.

 

It is, indeed, O-111. The faint die line connecting the olive branch to the C is diagnostic.

One interesting fact about the 1836-111...it was the very last die marriage produced on the screw press before the changeover to the steam press stamped 1836 reeded edge type.

 

Thank you for the help. It is a very interesting coin.

"Thanks McBlzr!

I think the O-111 is correct. Looks like a nice coin to boot!

Best
