[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 758023, member: 16994"]Hey gang! I bought this is a large group of half dollars yesterday. I have been able to identify all of them (there were 30 or so) except this one. It appears to me to be obverse #1 At first I thought it was O-101... but I see no recutting at the bottom of the "U" and and alignment of the "T" and the "I" are not correct. Also no sign of the die line into the right wing. As I spent more time looking I am unable to find any die pair out of all the ones in my overton book that have the alignment in the "T" and "I" that this piece does... Note the broken bottom on the "T" and how the "I" is centered directly under the left side of the "T" It's definitely a genuine piece. Maybe I'm just missing something.... anyone??
