1827 GTO (Guess The Overton)

I know my pictures are not great, but this one is challenging me...so, thought I would let the CoinTalkers have at it.

Overton 140 ? 1827 50 cent square base 2 .

 

i.d.k about the Overton just a nice looking bust half.

 

I'd say that one is in the running. I'm thinking the first leg on the M is a little too far from the scroll....

 

nope not 140.

I'll look closer later.

the M to the scroll is slightly off.
Star #13 is off.

 

Dude 1827 Overtons are THE WORST.
So hard to attribute

 

The A-A position eliminates a bunch of them.

 

Want some 1921 Morgans?

 

I'm thinking O-121.

 

I'm thinking

 

Sorry I'm late to the party on an 1827. I've been without power since Monday due to an ice storm. Messydesk is right. It is 121, a R-3 (scarce) die marriage.

Date is a wide 8 1/2mm. and medium low, top of 2 is slightly lower than 187. All stars are large, star 1 is usually flat and it is 1 1/2 mm. from drapery. Other stars are relatively sharp. (At least until die erosion spreads the points out like on this one)

Reverse- 50 C. is a close 3/4 mm., with a large C and short curved top on 5. Arrowheads are large and the upper one is solidly attached to base of A.

 

Nothing hard about 27's...










it just takes a 20 year internship specializing in them.

 

Here's one that is a little easier to see the pick-up points.

 

Thanks for the replies. Now I can label it.

Purchased on Ebay for $47.02. I think I had a bunch of "just make sure it don't go to cheap" bids on and this was the result. Not a super exciting coin but I'm happy to add it to my bust half stash.
