Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if someone was more familiar with the different obverse designs who could identify this as a O4 or O5.
I’m leaning toward O4 based on the dot within the ear and that the bottom of I in DEI is essentially even. Getting lost looking at the hair details. Piece is in an NGC-30 holder.
Thanks for your help!

    Obv 5 based on lip, chin and hair detail - the 1st thick strand of hair at the temple

    Gene is right!
    please post both sides in future, as there are cases where both sides are important if. sometimes the date position rules out others etc. etc.
