1831 -  O.106 R.3 PCGS "Rattler" AU 58 GOLD CAC

Another ancient PCGS holder, recently adorned with a gold CAC sticker.  Silver-grey toning with flashes of russet iridescence.  Extravagant cartwheel luster.  The late die state may have confused PCGS.  I see no signs of friction on this carefully preserved coin.  Lot 1460 in Superior’s June 1992 sale of Richard Pugh’s collection, bringing $330.  Auction tag accompanies.

Estimate: $1,200 and up
