Does anyone have an actual picture of the 1827 O-149 R8 half?

Don't try to call me your best friend just yet, it's only a vague suspicion so far. I was wondering though if there are any actual pics out there of one of them? The 1827 year can be quite a challenge to attribute. . . do any of the 1827's other than the O-149 and O-120 have those raised die lines under the Bust?

Edited to add- I'll check later and scan in any that are around. Just checked and neither plate is of sufficient quality to scan. Both are small B+W images and low res. to boot. Two were sold in MBS 30 and the ANA sale in Pittsburgh. The third example was placed privately a couple years ago.
May I ask where you are going with this?

Note: This pic is NOT a 149...It is a combination pic of the obverse of a 120 and the reverse of a 112. On a genuine 149 the obverse die is sharper and the reverse die is a much later stage. All in all, though, this appoximates what a 149 would look like.
Coinlover, check AT in STATES on the reverse. On a 149 the two letters will be solidly connected. On a 120 there will be a noticable gap.

Yes, sorry for not adding that for clarification.
