1827 O-120a R-3
Okay, I do believe that this may qualify as a O-120.
vs the O-120a.

The difference is the die crack over the top of UNITED STATES.

On this piece - very careful examination shows no crack over the UNITED, and then
a VERY light crack over TATES.

However, very hard to see unless at an angle.




What do you think?

Everyone else?


Later research says probably an O-120a

 

Another:

'a' diagnostic: die crack at top of 'United States'.
