1813 -  O.102 R.3 PCGS AU 53

An electric blue arc fills the dentils from star 5 to star 10.  Shimmering gold is the dominant color elsewhere.  Luster matches that of most AU 55s.  I wonder if PCGS was offended by the weak obverse rims.  (The obverse die had endured a lengthy tour on the 1813 50/UNI O.101.)  This is a pretty coin from a die pair that Al Overton considered R.4.  It brought $1,100 when Heritage offered it in September 2023.   Estimate: $800 to $1,100
