R6 bust half...these don't pop up very often.

Looking at just the rims of both sides, the differing wear patterns surprises me.

I think it's probably more a product of dilapidated dies. The feathers on the eagle almost look fine-ish to me, but the reverse rim looks AG. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the coin had been 'used' the exact same amount as a later date CBH in VF20

The thing with R6's is even the ugly ones are beautiful.

I'm not quite sure how to take that

Congratulations on the find! You sure do have an eye for rare die marriages! It's hard to tell by the reverse (since it's shared by two other die marriages), but the obverse matches obverse 11 (which is unique to O-104). Very nice.
