<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8210727, member: 105571&quot;]Not having the knowledge, experience or skill with Bust Half Dollars that some members possess, I took [USER=72642]@okbustchaser[/USER]&#039;s determination of O-112 and examined my coin more thoroughly.&nbsp; Some of the pickups used by Overton don&#039;t really work on this coin due to the weak/non-existent dentils caused by worn dies so I looked elsewhere for definitive diagnostics and lo, found one.&nbsp; The reverse on this coin has a unique shield characteristic where line 3 of stripe 2 extends to the third crossbar.&nbsp; No other 1831 has this unique characteristic and this Reverse J is only paired with one obverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s the photo of the shield.&nbsp; I also verified this using a 30X stereo microscope which gives a much clearer view than my photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the help.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1440428[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
