Anyone able to tell me the Overton #

Recently got this coin for type and it's great overdate, Can any of you overton experts tell me if it is

101
101a
102
103a,b,c

I am pretty sure overton 103 is the rare one with the clear(er) 5/4 and 3 different die states of the OBV shattered die so is the 102 a different Rev? what is the A die state for 101? what are the pick up points? Thanks in advance

It's an O.102. The obverse is obverse 1 and this is easily seen by the proximity of star one to the hair curl of Ms. Liberty. The reverse is reverse B and this can be determined because the eagle is holding 12 arrows instead of 13 arrows.

On this same note, would any Overton experts mind telling me what number this pretty girl is?

Obverse

Reverse

TIA!!!

Hi Dave,
Is the 1 in the date recut? I can't tell from the images. I'm guessing no and that this is a 105 (or a 105a, which is a die state deterioration).

It's pretty clear it's a reverse D. The obverse is likely a 3.

If the 1 was recut to make the long serif a blunt one then it is a 117 which is the same reverse die but obverse 11.

The two obverses are quite close.

I reoriented your images (attributing is tough enough when the coin is upright) and tried to get a little clarity by modifying the color and exposure. I'm sure it's much lovelier in hand. Sorry if I butchered it.
Lance.
