<p>[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 197427, member: 4367"]Nice Half. Hmmm, with due respect it really doesn't look like a (50 over 00) to me. The attribution of O-120 on the flip appears correct. This one (O-120) has the T (United States of America) and I (E Pluribus Unum) lined up with the I centered under the left side of the T. Don't think it's been tooled either, beaten up some but no tooling. Why tool an 1836? The 5 shown with the example of the (50 over 00) in the RedBook is a different Overton variety, a O-116. The basic shapes of the numbers and letters are the same in the series however the different (many) dies used each year created a myriad of different varieties and can vary greatly, but you know this. It was a very primitive process...</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
