Is the following a medium variety O or a large variety O of the 1857 o dime here is a picture it’s a high minted year so it’s not very rare. I’m just curious.

The court jester does not play, but gently pulls the strings…

  Looks like the large O to me. The medium O is rounder. The large O looks larger than the letters of the legend (compare with O in OF). See https://www.seateddimevarieties.com/date_mintmark/1857ovarpage.htm (from Gerry Fortin's site).
