    I've previously shared this here but, for whatever reason, I'm starting to doubt myself. I had initially thought this to be a "large date, large letters" type. After more and more time looking at it, I'm beginning to think it's a small letter reverse. Care to chime in and share your thoughts? Thanks!

    I’m guessing and I need new glasses but o-105? Based on where the 2nd S in states lines up, left side and middle of the M in AMERICA touching.

    Looks like O-105 to me too

    I think they nailed it - large date small letters O-105.

    It's also got about 15° rotation going on, but thank you for the Overton number. I'll check it out tomorrow

    I finally got to checking this out and it ticks all the boxes for O-105, so thank you fellas for the help! I'm still contemplating which coins to send in for my first CACG submission and this one is on the list of potentials. The rest of those are: 1851 braided hair large cent, 1907 IHC, 1883 proof V nickel, 1930 SLQ (FH hopefully) and maybe one of my Morgans.

    With as strict as I expect CACG to be, only the finest of my (mostly meager) examples will go out, and I'm leaning towards capping the submission at 3 or maybe 4 coins just to test the waters there. This coin may very well get cut off the list of sending because I think it's AU at best. What do you think? Is it worthy to send in or should I just keep it raw in my type set?
