The die pair is R.1, but only very early die states of the O.102 come with the coveted XXX edge. High grade examples are like hen’s teeth – scarce. Extremely scarce, in fact. The only other PCGS AU 55 XXX Edge I recall handling is the Charles Link O.110, MB 41, lot 16, Aug. 2015 @ $12,718. This example has the earmarks of an early strike: hard, flat surfaces with well detailed devices and dentils, including the familiar “incused segments” on the reverse (clash marks from a loose die). The obverse toing is original if a bit uneven. The reverse is an even pale gold. Here is an important coin for Red Book and PCGS Registry Set collectors. Est. $4,000 to $5,000.
