<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 919975, member: 11854"]You have the coin in-hand whereas I do not.

The first is that star 7 of the O.101 drops away from the rim farther than stars 1-6 whereas star 7 of the O.102 doesn't appear to drop away from the rim as much. This may simply be due to the fact that the O.101 has many fine, sharp stars whereas the O.102 has broader stars. These broader stars from the O.102 appear to match the style on your coin. The O.101 is also noted to have points from stars 11 and 12 closer to one another than the remainder of the stars, but I don't see that on your coin.

The diagnostics of the reverse are shared by both O.101 and O.102 because as mentioned previously they shared a reverse die.</p><p> </p><p>Again, you have the advantage of having the coin in-hand, but based upon the image I would have attributed the coin as an O.102.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
