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.
 

Estimate: $3,000 and up
