Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your coin is not Overton-102 (or 102a), the 1817/4 variety. Compare your coin to the one in the pictures on the web site linked below. Pay particular attention to the relationship of the second "T" in "STATES," and the "I" in "PLURIBUS." Notice that on your coin, the right side of the "I" lines up with the left side of the "T." On the O-102, the center of the "I" is under the right side of the "T." Since only one reverse die was paired with that obverse die, your coin can not be a match.

Sorry :(

I have a lot on my plate right now, but if you'll give me a couple of days, I will try to get attributions for those, or at least narrow it down as best I can. If you post another picture of the 1817 reverse right side up, so I don't have to keep tilting my head sideways, I'll try to get the Overton number for that one as well.

All of the dies used to mint Capped Bust Half Dollars have been identified, and are assigned identifying numbers (obverse dies) or letters (reverse dies). The die pairs, or "marriages," are given numbers, called Overton numbers after Al Overton, who wrote "Early Half Dollar Die Varieties 1794-1836."  I have given the attribution challenge my best shot,and here is what I came up with:

The 1817 looks like O-111, R1. 1809 appears to be O-105, R2. 1813 is either O-102, R4, or O-104, R4. Those two varieties share the same reverse die. I am leaning toward O-102, due to the way the date looks. The 1819 is quite worn, but I think it is O-102, R2, which is actually an overdate - 1819/8.

If anyone sees where I made an error, please feel free to comment.

The "R" numbers above are the rarity numbers, listed in the table below.
