[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 620034, member: 6763"]O-115, refers to the Overton listing for Bust $1/2, by A. Overton, current edition by Don Parsley. "United States Early Half Dollar Die Varieties." Die pairing: simply, the use of the obverse and reverse die in this combination. There were 18 obverse dies used that year, and this is #14. There were 21 reverse dies used that year, and this was Reverse O or #15. If different obverse & reverse dies are combined they make different 'pairings'. R-2 is Rarity 2, = Slightly uncommon (actually, no added value to Bust collectors). T/I offset refers the relatinship between the I in the motto" E Pluribus Unum" on the banner/ribbon above the eagle and the letter T in States (the second T). This position is used as an easy way to eliminate many of the difference varieties. I hope that this helps.[/QUOTE]
