This 1826 half is a coin I attributed to by an O-104. After examining other examples at Heritage and Great Collection archives I noticed something. The is doubling on the entire face of Liberty that only seems to appear on an O-104a. There is no die crack under AMERI on the reverse which is the marker for the O-104a but i only see the doubling of the face on the 104a. Any comments? 1826 .50 J718 PCGS AU55 obv2.jpg 1826 .50 J718 PCGS AU55 rev2.jpg

The obverse on PCGS's website looks bad, its tough to find a marker / pick up point(s). I will look it over again. I see the area on the face you are talking about but, i dont see it as pronounced on any documented sites. Like I said, the PCGS example is pretty beat up. In the morning if I have time I will pull out the overton book and see what it says.
For the reverse, on your example, there is a die crack that goes through the bottom of "50 C."
PCGS website, the same style crack is seen on Overton's 104a. On PGCS, the crack appears to be a tad bit more pronounced, so the example at PCGS might be a slightly later die state.
Its been a long day of privacy fence building, so I am calling it a night.
