Overton Bust Half Help....

Hello all.

Does anyone know the overton variety of the 1811 Bust half with a thin die crack running from just below the base of the bust at 8 oclock, thru the 1 and 8 of the date, paralelling the stars in the right obverse field, thru the cap and terminating at the top of the seventh star. Can post a picture later if needed.

Thanks!! John

    Sounds like O.104, if there is a crack at S2-S5 it could be the late die state O.104a, both are common R.1's. O.103 and O.104 are both "Large 8" Redbook varieties, but not worth a premium.
