1827 Capped Bust Half Dollar...Variety?

Hey everyone. I was looking at an auction and found this '27 Half Dollar. The coin's not in that great of a condition, but I am curious which variety this is... if you look on the "E" in "STATES," you'll see a few horizontal die strikes right above it...I think. Does this constitute a variety?

Looks like O.128 or O.139 based on the ridge in the middle of I in PLURIBUS. Same reverse die. Need to see the obverse to nail it down.

Ah- sorry. Here it is (and excuse the corrosion for the time being):

O.128, R4.

It might be fun to have a chess clock and make a game of attributing the fastest.

I need to get out more.

That obverse would scare me... am i alone with that thought?

Just don't pick 1827. Ugh...they're like 149 marriages.

in 1827 there were 28 Obverse Dies & 34 Reverse Dies used to produced 49 different Die Marriages.
