[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 107001, member: 1674"]bone, I disagree with your attribution. The T/I alignment is not in line with what a o-112 would have, the I is way too far to the right. Do you have a picture of the recutting of Arrow 2 and the die crack between arrow 2 and arrow 3? or are you working from a description? The reason that I ask is because Arrow 2 of o-112 DOES have recutting, but it is above the arrowhead, not below (like yours) and the die crack on yours isn't in the same spot as the die crack on o-112 (yours is from the lower point of arrow 2 to the middle of the upperside of arrow 3, while the o-112 has a die break from the lower intersection of Arrowhead two and arrow two's shaft to arrow 3 at a point 1/3 of the way from the upper point to the front point of arrowhead 3). Anyway, from your pictures it looks to me like it is a O-119, but I can't see the minute detail that would confirm my attribution on your photos. I have circled the two places on your photo that would have the confirming details: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/jsmexico/112twoedited.jpg[/IMG] The upper right circle is where "[t]he first pale of gule 6 extends far into the azure (lines) and the second pale of gule 6 extends" [Peterson's "Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars", p.286] slightly into the azure (lines). The lower left circle is where "[t]he tail feathers have two small spikes protruding into the left field. They can be very thin in late states." [Ibid., p. 287] Anyway, check those two spots, it may confirm my attribution. Either way, it is a beautiful coin![/QUOTE]
