1834 Capped Bust Half

I found another CBH I like. What do y'all think? I haven't figured out the Overton yet. I would appreciate a little help. It looks like it's Small date, stars and letters to me.

Sure, start looking for the T/I alignement (Reverse) here:

If there are two or more Overton varieties matching your coin’s T/I alignment, look closer at the descriptions for each variety. Compare the design and position of the stars, the date and « 50C » with your coin.

 

Looks close to O-111

 

Close, but it’s not the O-111… usually the areas shown below are good starting points:

OBV:


REV:

 

O-113

 

How about the O-109? Pics are bad unfortunately.

 

I give up. LOL I can't find one where the 5 is to same, 113 was the closest one.

 

Arrow shafts and position of C don’t match; the 5 of 50C is not weak either. I’d vote for O-109.

 

Did you buy it yet? If not and the price were right, I would before someone else spots it. Sweet!

 

Star #8 is too far away from the cap to be 109

 

I don't see any reverses with the M this close to the scroll

or the 5 centered on claw 3

and the S centered over the P

 

Right, Star #1 is also different. It has to be O-113. I am not sure why the arrows look so different, but the dentils are barely visible, which is a match.
@okbustchaser do you agree with us?

 

I noticed on the O-113 that the E is closer to the end of the scroll than mine is. So, who knows? LOL

 

Also, the D is farther to the left of the scroll on mine.

 

Please ignore this post. It’s not the O-113. There are not many options left…

 

It sure looks like a SDSL variety. Looking at the T/I alignments, I is centered under the right side of T. So it can only be O-109 or O-111 to 114.

O-109: can be ruled out, obv stars are different
O-111: can be ruled out, 50C wrong position
O-112: maybe?
O-113: can be ruled out, D/E scroll alignment wrong
O-114: can be ruled out, D/E scroll alignment wrong

it must be O-112… description says “LDS show little milling” (check) and “stars are drawn to edge” (check)… better pics needed to confirm.

 

From the pics , I would say 111. Here is mine, for comparison.

 

The position of the 5 is different

 

Agreed, that’s why I believe it’s O-112 R3.

 

Same thing, 5 is different
