Can anyone help me with an overton number? None of my books cover the 1839-O.

I believe it is the same style of coin that Lance posted on coinzip.com

Die breaks all over the obverse and reverse. It could not have struck many more coins from the way it looks.

I have not seen many 1839-OBust Half, I dont know if it because I didnt look for them or if they are really hard to find.

I know I am asking alot without any pictures, but I also know how good you guys are on this board.

    BTW, bust half dollars of the reeded edge variety do not go by Overton numbers.

    TexasNationals,

    Yes it looks identical.

    I did notknow that about the Reeded edge Bust Halves. I really do not like the 30's, but I need a good example for my type set. So how are they rated?

    TomB knows the die varieties of these reeded edge halves, but I believe he is set up at FUN and might not be chiming in.

    BTW TexasNationals - Barndog told me at FUN today to find him a 39O half just like that one I found for you image
