I think 102 is probably correct. Though 101 was tempting. I thought maybe that was a dentil under the 4 in the OP, which matches up better with the 101.
Is the image not square to the camera? Coin looks tilted, making things harder.
Maybe the below helps. OP, 101 and 102 respectively.
If none of these works then it's counterfeit, dag gummit. Lance.
Both the 101 and the 102 share the same obverse die. When this coin was offered to me I knew it was either a R2 or R5 so I took a chance on it being the R5. I figured there is no down side to to taking this chance, its still an over date.......

Doh. I should have checked that!

The key die distinguishing the two is the T-I relationship. On O.101 the I is left of the center of T, while on O.102 it's right of the center of T.
