This is just a plain 1824 Bust that I am interested in. No over-date......Is there any information on what to look for about the Overton # and rarity. I really dont know too much about the "Busts" to know what to look for......Thank You
Maybe I can get a pic of it later..........It is a PCGS AU55

The variety will be based upon the position of the stars, date, reverse letters, etc. If you can post an image, you will surely get a quick and accurate attribution here. The book to use is Early Half Dollar Die Varieties, buy Overton/Parsely, although there are other references that you can use.
It is O-108, an R.2 variety. Billboat is correct that it is tough to attribute from the images provided. The key indicators: 1) star 13 nearly touches lower curl, 2) star 7 points to center of headband, 3) I under right side of T. Looks like a nice coin.
<< <i>Numisma--I went back and took another look and came up with 108 also--I was a minute too late on my edit--but glad we agree--my diagnostics were the same. >>
