1795 O-133 R8 Flowing Hair Half Dollar

Variety Attribution (Preliminary): Obverse-Star 1 barely pierces. Star 2 is clear of second curl. Star 15 touches bust near upper end of same. Date is 8 1/2 mm. "It is the position of the “T” in “LIBERTY.” For the O-133, the “T” tilts to the left as compared to the “R” and “Y”. Perkins says that if a line were drawn through the center of the T, it would point to the upper edge of the dentil above it. Meanwhile, the O-122 shows the “T” titled slightly to the right relative to the “R” and “Y”, and a line inscribed through the center of the “T” would aim right for the center of the dentil just above. Moreover, Star 2 is further from the second curl on the O-133 than it appears on the O-122."
