Small Head FH half; old cleaning

 

That may be one of the nicest examples of the 39O I have ever seen.

 

thanks... in hand, the aquamarine toning really lights up. I picked that up from John at CRO, at a Baltimore show a few years back; couldn't get my checkbook out fast enough.

 

I’ll bet. That’s a fantastic coin... love the die cracks

 

Perhaps not worn but definitely circulated.

 

GREAT worn coins in this thread!

 

Picked up from Kagin's ANA auction in Atlanta.



Posted in this thread because I noticed that I left out my VF 134 when I was posting 1827 Overtons earlier. This is a definite upgrade.

Plus, it's a bump for a great thread.

 

I just noticed this thread, guess I was asleep. Anyway, here's three of mine.

 

This gal is my earliest date and most worn Bust Half. Anyone care to take a stab at the Overton? Can it even be figured out when they’re this worn?

 

Overton 106
Obverse-Stars Large and well formed. Date is 9 mm. high and leaning sharply to the left. 1 is higher and wider than 808. L has distinct crossbars in bottom. Stars 5 and 6 closer than 6 and 7.
Reverse-50 C. is 2 1/4 mm. and low. Arrow to A is 1/2 mm. A center dot at upper edge of left wing near body. AM nearly touch at base. Right sides of T and I are in line. Arrowheads lightly joined.

 

Nice looking 103a.

 

You’re fast! This one took me awhile to figure out for some reason. It’s fun though!

 

The prominent center dot on the reverse immediately makes it either 102 or 106. The T/I relationship makes it 106.

Then verify that you don't have a new marriage (and thus won the lottery) by checking the obverse.

 

My latest addition. I'll just use the true view since I take terrible pictures. O-106, R.3
PCGS called it VG-10.

 

1832 O-103
