[QUOTE="oldwormwood, post: 2184433, member: 34162"][ATTACH=full]423418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]423419[/ATTACH] Hi, I recently purchased this 1825 Bust Half, and have tried using Zip Allen’s site ([url]http://coinzip.com/bustieguide/index.php[/url]) and Dave’s Bust Half Dollar site ([url]http://www.maibockaddict.com[/url]) to determine the Overton attribution. I have to admit, I am struggling a bit. On the reverse, the left side of the T seems to intersect the I, which on Zip’s site puts it as an O-103, O-106, O-111, O-113, O-116, O-117, or O-118. There is no date die crack, so it is not an O-118 (too bad!). I do see what I [I]think [/I]are crossbars extending into the right wing, which would put it as an O-106 (a characteristic that is mentioned on both sites). But the arrowheads don’t seem to touch, and the arrowhead and the A don’t seem to be as close (both are descriptions form Dave’s site).
