Pastel gold throughout, flanked by iridescent splashes of turquoise at the peripheries. Luster emboldens the attractive toning. Well struck, reasonably early die state. I “grew up” hunting for this die pair and the 1826 O.103, the only R.5s of the year. Both have suffered modest demotions, to R.4+ and R.5- respectively. Still, they remain the keys to completing a die variety set of the year. Both are notoriously difficult to find in high-grade.Estimate: $1,800 to $2,500
