[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 198194, member: 4381"]For whatever it is worth, this is what it said in the Auction Guild 836 O-120 VF/XF Bust Half Dollar. A wonderful example of the O-120 variety, with dark surfaces and lots of detail remaining. Overton lists the tell-tale signs of the variety as: Obverse: Stars are mostly sharp and close to the milling; Star 8 is recut at two upper points; Date 7.5 mm, with the 83 closer than the 18 or 36; Remains of a bar and dot show weakly to the right of the 6. Reverse: 50 C is a close 1mm, and rather high, with a well formed 5 a large C; I us centered under the left side of T; A in STATES is higher that adjacent T's at both top and bottom; The area between olive leaves and berries is noticeably filled. The O-120 variety has a R-4- rarity rating, meaning less than 200 are believed to exist. (Photo) †[/QUOTE]
