The horizontal dash bar to the left of the 1 in the date definitely make it an O.112 or an O.123, as those were the only two pairing to use Obverse 8. In the reverse of your half, it looks like the 5 in 50 C is higher than the 0, the base of the R in the motto is higher than the base of the I next to it, and it appear that the first A does have a recut right base.</p><p> </p><p>These are all reverse diagnostics for an O-123. Congratulations on this R7 rarity. I have the newer Parsley book that updates Overton a bit, and there is a note for this date that the marriage may be available in only proof or presentation specimen strikes, and that no known business strike specimens have been verified. This book is dated 2005, so that observation may be a bit outdated, but you still have found a wonderful and rare variety in my opinion.</p><p> </p><p>Nice find. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
