<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zap1111, post: 107006, member: 4912&quot;]Greetings,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been reading for a while, but this posting pulled me into the action because it involves the 1812 Overton 107 bust half dollar.&nbsp; I bought one, not knowing much about bust halves, maybe five years ago and those crazy clashes caught my eye and I needed answers.&nbsp; Well, now I find myself on the road to becoming a bust half nut, with a collection of 41 different die varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has an R.1 rating and you can find various stages of clashing.&nbsp; The principle diagnostic is the blotchy die break above the wing.&nbsp; Later stages of clashing bring the marks in the field (from the ribbons and hair on the obverse) and those great letters hiding in the shield.</p><p><br /></p><p>I own three 1812 O. 107 halves, each having a different clashing.&nbsp; My best has a wildly doubled profile on the obverse.&nbsp; If I get some time, I&#039;ll try to post it.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, congratulations on grabbing up a cool coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>zap1111[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
