I just picked up a nice little group of CBHs. I've attributed all but this one, which I found challenging.

Opinions? Grade opinions also welcome.

I came up with either O-104 or O-134.

I don't see a center dot in the crossbars, so I'm going with O-134.

I would say O-134 also..

arrow point to A is to far to be 104

27's can be tough ... I think O-134 is correct

editted to add - nice look, appears Choice VF+

Yes, it is O.134. The arrowhead spacing on the 104 is wrong. (edited to say, oops...habaraca said the same thing earlier.)

I'd call it a nice VF30.

Thanks, all...I had it as an O-134 also, but not with a lot of confidence. Also as a VF-30..that I was pretty comfortable with.

I'll post another one from the group...an 1810 that presents a grading challenge.

Would anyone like to share the article by the JRCS member on attributing 1827 half dollars? There has to be a more scientific approach than the one I use (despite the help of Overton and Peterson).

Are these still considered R.4? It's been a long time since I've seen an updated census.

It has been.

These two sources still say R4.
