There is a decent pool of MS and AU examples to choose from for the earlier die state, but very few of the 119a's seem to appear on the market. The later die state I would peg at an R5 or R6, which would fit the R3 overall rating. The finest known examples are in the MS64-MS65 range and there are at least 5 of those.

Variety Attribution: Obverse-All stars have sharp points. S7 is 1 mm. from L. Star 8 is only 1/2 mm.from Y, and Star 13 is 1/2 mm. from bust. Date is a close 7 3/4 mm. and high. 1 and 6 nearly touch curl and bust. Y has been recut at left side. Some hair and ribbon details may be weak due to the sinking of the die.
O-119: Reverse-5 berries, the lowest one has no stem and other 4 have very short stems. the sinking die causes a bulge and consequent weakness at left wing. Eagle's beak comes down on upper side of star point. Leaf points to right base of I and is 1/4 mm. below it. Right base of F missing.
O-119a: Die cracks, one at top of ED ST curves down through ATES OF AMERICA. Another from edge through U, still another from left claw to base of U.
