1820 Lg. Date, Sq. 2 with Knob - O.104 R.3? PCGS 'Rattler' AU 55 CAC
A fabulous example, dating to Superior’s landmark sale of Richard Pugh’s collection in June 1992. This was lot 1122 in that sale. My notes in the margin were simple: original. The beguiling glow of a tropical sunset permeates abundant luster while enhancing the protective antique grey patina.
The `20-104 is a tough die pair! I consider the current R.3 rarity rating a bit silly. High grade, eye appealing examples are R-A-R-E! I foresee a battle for this CAC-approved specimen.
