1818 - O.110 R.4 PCGS XF 45
The O.115 and O.110 die marriages are keys to completing a die-variety set of 1818s. High grade examples are rare. The O.110, as a stepchild to the charismatic O.115, is often undervalued. (Though an AU 55 brought $4,320 in Heritage’s recent “Founding Father’s” sale.) Both die pairs appear in this auction. (See lot 29.) This untoned O.110 has too much luster for a 45. And the strike is far better than most. The surfaces, however, are a tad busy, accounting for the modest grade. Last offered in my Fixed Price List of April 2018. Estimate: $500 to $750
