<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jmferris, post: 2412516, member: 78421&quot;]Judging by the size of the mintmark and that it is low and to the left of center, it looks like a V-4.&nbsp; Let me pull out my Valentine book and see if there are any other possibilities.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edit:</b>&nbsp; Looking at the book, I think it is a V-4.&nbsp; Diagnostics are that the 1 almost touches the base on the obverse.&nbsp; He referred to it as &quot;slender lettering&quot;, but the NGC VarietyPlus looks a lot like your and refers to that as a V-4, as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Link here:</p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-varieties/seated-liberty-half-dimes/1850-o-small-o-h10c-5088" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-varieties/seated-liberty-half-dimes/1850-o-small-o-h10c-5088" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-varieties/seated-liberty-half-dimes/1850-o-small-o-h10c-5088</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Cross referencing that back to the picture in the lookup in the Valentine book, it does look very close.&nbsp; Any chance of closer pictures of both the date and how the O relates to the bow and &quot;DIME&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC refers to it as &quot;rare for this date&quot;, so Breen might not have been too far off, in this case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
