<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 72804, member: 1674&quot;]Frank, It looks like it is an O-111 (a common die marriage), but the &quot;blob&quot; between S8 and S9 had me stumped, as it would have been included in my manual if it was a die marker.&nbsp; Since it wasn&#039;t listed I was leaning toward counterfeit until I read the other opinions that it was damage from being in jewelry; I agree with those opinions.&nbsp; I think it is a genuine 1823 O-111 Bust Half with damage from being in jewelry.&nbsp; If you wanted to confirm this you could ask for a good cloe-up photo of the &quot;T&quot; in Liberty.&nbsp; If it is O-111 then there is a small &quot;dot&quot; of metal in the upper left part of the crossbar of the &quot;T&quot;.&nbsp; Like this:</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/jsmexico/100_1999.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually I think the area near star 13 (lowest on right side) that I originally though was a die crack is alos similar damage to the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
