[QUOTE="900fine, post: 718056, member: 6036"]Yes. Al Overton wrote The Book on early halves (1794 - 1836), and his name is where the "O" comes from in the attribution numbers. His relative Don Parsley (son in law ?) updated and revised his work and published the 4th edition. Highly recommended. 1827 is a difficult year to attribute due to the sheer number of die varieties; there were 28 obverse dies and 34 reverse dies used in various combinations, resulting in 49 die marriages. If the OP coin is indeed an O-126, it is listed as rarity R.2 (fairly common).[/QUOTE]
