    No.

    Edited to add:

    Here is a pic of one in Sheridan Downey's upcoming Mail Bid Auction1830 Lg Letter O-114
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Larry,

    Now that I have got home and checked Overton your coin is O-103. It is the Red Book variety known as the small 0.

    On the 1830 Large Letter, notice that the spacing looks to be smaller between UNITED & STATES, when compared with both the OF side spacings.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
