    I have notified the seller that this is actually the O-106, not the claimed O-127. Same obverse die, but a different reverse die. I've often seen this particular mistake made as the clash at the ear of Liberty is a pickup point. Although it always appears on the 127 it also appears on several later stage 106s. Just didn't want anyone mistakenly bidding on the coin as the opening bid is twice what it is worth...and half what it would go for if it were the 127.

    I have never dealt with the seller Macvanderstein and therefore am making no value judgment. He very easily can simply be wrong and will eventually correct his listing.

    even cleaned & w/o the scratch it would have been desirable

    Auction ends this evening. Still no change in the description. At least it is still sitting without an opening bid.

    I believe they also got it wrong, because on the rev of both varieties, there are several lines of the shield which extend to the crossbars: for O-127 it’s the center line while for O-106 it’s line 3 of stripe 5.
    You’re really good, okbustchaser! ;-)
