Every coin in the collection that I'm photographing is AU50 to MS63 with most being AU58..... Except for this dog. I figured it HAD to be rare to be in the group. Labeled as O-113.

    I would say that it looks genuine, why do you think it is a counterfeit?

    Nice picture to boot!

    Congratulations!

    I believe it's an R7

    Who said anything about counterfeit?

    Well, it's not O-101 - O-112, and I can't find an image (online) of the O-113.

    BUT, if I were to guess that yours was an O-113, I'd say you had a good chance.
    Otherwise it's a brand new variety.

    You looking to sell it to me? image

    That does look like an O-113

    It is 113--looks like the Tidwell coin which sold back in 2004.

    Edit to add: The second finest known (XF-40) hammered tonight for $28777.00 ($31665.00 with juice) in a Sheridan Downey mail bid sale.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    The worn out Bustie that is the subject of this thread may only be worth $20,000. image
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    What are the markers for the O-113?

    Check out my current listings: https://ebay.com/sch/khunt/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1

    Star 7 points to the front of Liberty's cap rather than the headband. This makes it either O-103 or O-113. On 113 both inner point of star 8 are close to touching the cap--not so on 103.

    The 3 in the date has a misshapen lower loop. Although this is true of other die marriages for the year, the "look" is unique.
