<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 2392561, member: 6763&quot;]1823 O-108</p><p>1823 O-108, R2:</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse of this die marriage was struck with Obverse Die 7. This was the first of two uses of this die. It was used immediately after to strike the O-109.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse was struck with Reverse Die B. This was the first of three uses for this die. After striking the O-109 it was used to strike the 1822 O-112 and then the 1823 O-102.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the obverse the 23 are clearly larger than the 18.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the reverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) The Overton/Parsley book states: &quot;(There is) no inside right serif on A3. A1 and A2 have tiny inside right serifs.&quot; This is not completely true. Early die states of the O-108 have a small, thin, right inner serif on A1 (my coin has this). Most other O-108&#039;s lack the inside right serif on A1.</p><p><br /></p><p>(2) The A in STATES is rotated counter-clockwise, so the right (outside) serif is above the left serif of the adjacent T.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108_zps1a55de2c.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108_zps1a55de2c.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108_zps1a55de2c.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108_zps1a55de2c.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg145/Treashunt/1823O-108_zps1a55de2c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108Obv_zps56434151.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108Obv_zps56434151.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108Obv_zps56434151.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108Obv_zps56434151.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg145/Treashunt/1823O-108Obv_zps56434151.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108Rev_zps53a1a406.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/Treashunt/media/1823O-108Rev_zps53a1a406.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">&nbsp; <img src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg145/Treashunt/1823O-108Rev_zps53a1a406.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
