1827 Sq. Base 2 - O.120a R.2 PCGS AU 55 CAC
Caky luster, a bold strike and nearly mark-free surfaces earned this one a CAC sticker. Steel-grey toning. Heavy die lines beneath the drapery make the obverse easy to spot. That is important because the die also appears on the ultra-rare 1827 O.149. When you see this obverse, never fail to turn the coin over. If the bases of AT in STATES are joined, buy the coin! In the meantime, enjoy this handsome O.120a. From Alpine Numismatics in August 2001. Estimate: $800 to $1,000
