    There like 45 different die pairs and were supposed to get it from that one image.image
    BTW I was told to always start with the I to T alignment on the reverse.

    It looks like an O-104 to me. I doubt it has a die crack because the obverse was first use, and it was used again on the O-134.

    I agree, on both counts.

    I just examined four different O.134 obverses and none has a die crack there.

    There are actually 49 pairs. This, as Dave says above, is 104. As for always starting with the I to T alignment while it's true that I usually start with the reverse I actually look at the relationship of the olive stem to the C as well as the beginning and ending of the motto's banner before going to I to T. Overton was (how should I say this) "just a littttttle bit inconsistent" when recording that particular pickup point.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
