    Back a year or two someone in here nicely ID'ed the Overton Number for my 50¢ 1795 Flowing Hair in VF-20 as an O-117.
    I'm trying to put a value on it from the Grey Sheet but they don't price half dollars by Overton Number.
    Here's what they have for the 1795:
    -- 2 leaves
    -- Recut Date; 3 leaves
    -- Small Head
    -- Recut Date; 2 leaves
    -- A over E in STATES

    Which Grey Sheet description would an O-117 fall under?

    And for GP's here are the images:

    Definitely one of the "2 leaves".

    -- 2 leaves
    -- Recut Date; 3 leaves
    -- Small Head
    -- Recut Date; 2 leaves
    -- A over E in STATES

    If it is a o-117O, then it is an R-3.

    So for 1795, common

    Use the generic values.

    But, double check the Overton #

    I don't see the RPD

    Thanks, all.
    I've got Parsley's book but haven't really had any practice using it.
    And I don't have immediate access to this particular coin.
    It's in a safe deposit box at the bank.
    So all I have is the image I've shown and it must have been one of my early photo attempts considering its lack of sharpness.
