On the O-103 variety, the die struck coins with a small indentation, leading to "dot" between the 181 and 7 in the date. While dramatic and easy to see with the naked eye, this variety is relatively common. Rarity ratings provided courtesy of the Bust Half Nut Club Rarity Ratings Committee as published in their 2020 BHNC study report.
Obverse Description
181.7 punctuated date OBV. 3. S1UH, S7B-UELC, S8LE, S13UE. Stars sharp and well formed. Date is 8 ¾ mm. Second 1 slants left more than other figures. There is a round die defect dot just to right and about opposite the center of the second 1. Commonly called the punctuated date.
Reverse Description
REV. B. A1UE, A2LE, A3B. 50 C. is 1 ¾ mm. A-A is ½ mm. The most unusual feature of this reverse is the I's in UNITED and AMERICA have the lower right serifs missing, thus causing them to look like J's. All lettering and devices sharp. (64,64,63,63,63) R.2
