1832 Capped Bust Half - O-105?

I am about to bail out a 1832 Capped Bust Half Dollar and was giving her images the once over trying to identify the Overton Variety. I think she may be the O-105, based upon the T & I alignment, centered, and the defect in the shield on the (viewers) right, 6th vertical line next to the shield outline.



I don't believe that it is the O-105a, based on the letters in UNITED STATES not being drawn to the edge.

Here is a very informative thread in identifying Overton Varieties, it's an oldie (orig. 2006) but a GREAT one!

Thank you for your interest and comments!

    Looks O-105 with a way to go before "a."
