Could someone please help me with the Overton number for this 1812 capped bust. Sorry about the poor photos.

Also, any opinions on grade?

Thanks!

I agree with Stone. O-104

Don't have my book at work, but it looks like 104. Check the reverse above the U in UNITED for a half denticle next to a much larger one.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

I see the half denticle next to the larger one above the U.

I love 1812 CBH's
Talk about history.

I remember showing my first 1812 to my daughter and watching her eyes light up because the year
rang a bell. It made her appreciate what life was like in our country when the coin was minted.

Harshly cleaned at some time in the past. Now retoning.

The photos suck. There is a lot of luster, colorful toning and it's darker than the photos. No hairlines and one small scratch on reverse. Hmm, I really didn't think harshly cleaned.

Here's a more representative image of the obv. Still not a good photo, but a lot closer to the real look of the coin. Can't get the luster.

XF-45 if problem free!
