Bonedigger this one is for you- 1827 Capped Bust O-124a ? So Ben if you would chime in here or anyone else who has experiance with Bust halves- Going thru my Overton & Peterson books the only Variety I keep comming up with is O-124a. The problem is that I cant see the 2nd pale of gule 4 comming down past the shield. I also pictured the "T" so that you could see that it is not O-125. So here's some pics- let me know what you think-
It sure looks like an O-124A; R-5, but I think it's an O-135; R-3. Check the (rev) first A in STATES. It's base is slightly higher that the first T and lower than the second T. Late die states are known to be drawn to the edge with little of no milling visible. Take Care Ben
Ahhhh. After going thru the book & checking that one I believe you are correct. You stare at a piece too long & it seems that you lose site of what your really trying to find sometimes- Thanks
No problem buddy, I was checking 1827s most of last evening and had a reference book handy. Take Care Ben
