    Here are two of my 1807 Bust Halves. I have four (2 -O-112 and 2 - O-114) of them now, :D This shows some of the diagnostic differences. I am a bit lazy and am not quite sure which ones these are, because my reffrence book is with the local coin shop owner in town (50 Miles) away and I didn't write down which one was which, alas...

    Ben:
    The one on the left is the O-112, easy to tell because the O-112 (assuming the obverse is correct) is the 50/20 Rev. H (also used on the O-111, O-111a, and O-111b). This one is an R-4! Nice
    The other (on the right) is questionable. You state that it is an O-114, however, hard to tell, but the diagonistic is the joined arrow heads on the right (the lower two are joined.) Hard to tell frmo this picture, but they do not appear to be joined. If it is it is an R-3.

    Overton's are fun to attribute.

    Thanks for taking a look. In the book which is in town 4th Edition, I penned in the notes. I also have the 1st edition, the 2nd edition as well. But I've got to leave for a basketball game in a half hour or so...
