1827 50c Overton?

Boosibri

Came across this raw VF Bust 50c. Thoughts? Any input on if it is a difficult Overton variety? Im in Europe without my Overton book.

Looks like possibly O-106 ?? But I'm just a newbie at die varieties.

Looks like a lot of coin for VF. Die break ( crack or gouge ) on the S in States which runs to the rim (reverse). Some weakness in lower leg of the first T on the reverse. Just a couple pick up points (PUP). Lack of any detail in S 1,2,3,4,5 might be cause for the "low grade" ? ? ? but the dentils are strong…. Yet, I am Not an expert on Overton variety by any stretch of the imagination or a grader, either. Also, my book is in shop and I won't be there for a while. Your example has a strong strike (imo , haven't seen tons) , and color that makes me want to see it up close and personal. ( I like it)
Authentic ??? … I think, and it's a sweet looking (to me) XF coin.

Difficult Overton variety? Not really any more difficult than the 48 in 1827 to attribute. It is an O-106.

@TwoSides ... CBHs can't be graded on the strength of the stars and denticles or weakness of the reverse letters (due to metal flow). Some die marriages come with no denticles and weak stars in very high grade ... it's just the result of how the coins were produced. I just wished the TPG graders would appreciate these idiosyncrasies.

Oh ... and I also think the coin is an EF based on the images.
