    I left my book at school over break but PM OKbustchaser, his specialty is the 1827. Nice looking coin though!
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    First glance suggests might be 115 because of the solid stripe 6 on the shield but it also appears several lines from the stripes extend into the cross bar. Check to see if their is a vertical die defect inside the 2, from the stand to right side of inner curl of 2, which would confirm 115. Additionally a couple of small die defect lumps might be visible about the center of the neck, according to Overton.

    Edited to add, check if there is a jagged die break on the lower curl, if so it is 126, a rarity 2.

    126.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    It is definitly an O-126.
