    I recently picked up a draped bust half as a type piece for my collection. I've got a lot to learn about this series & was wondering if I can get some help attributing the Overton variety.

    I'm leaning towards an o-108, but the "AM" don't touch at the base. Also, any opinions as to grade?

    I am going with VG on the grade and I think it could be an O-108, but just not 100% sure.

    I'd call it VG-10. It doesn't look super original, but I also don't think it's a details grade coin. That's a great milestone coin in anyone's collection, congratulations.

    It was straight graded G6 by ANACS. I was happy with any straight grade about G4 & I think the wear on the reverse at the eagle's head is probably what kept it from pulling a VG8.
