It looks like O-139 to me. Check if the E in STATES is recut or not. This marriage is the only use of Rev. V, so if it is recut, then it is O-139 for sure. The pics are kinda dark, so it makes attribution a bit tougher.
Check to see that the I is joined ( a small ridge like a joint near the center of I) it is another identifying marker for a O-139 and the jointed I is also on the O 128. as they are both REV V .(sorry for the public correction numisma) Both listed as R.4 in O/P
PQ, thanks for the correction. You are right that 128 does use Rev. V. I missed that. However, the coin posted is not 128 based on the position of the 7 in the date and stars 7 and 13. Notice that the serif of the 7 is farther inside of the curl on 139 and star 13 is above the curl and not under the curl as with O-128.
I still feel that it is O-139. Interesting how darn close 128 and 139 are though. 1827s are a pain to attribute.

Also, you may want to consider posting your coin to this thread on 1827 halves.
