1821 -  O.103 R.1 PCGS AU 53

Full cartwheel luster rolls beneath a copper and gold patina.  The smooth surfaces display scant signs of circulation.  I suspect that PCGS docked the coin a few grading points because of softness in the obverse portrait.  High grade 1821s have always been a favorite.  
Estimate:  $600 to $800
