1830 Small 0 -  O.105 R.4 PCGS AU 55

Next to the 1830 Large Letters O.114, the O.105 is probably the scarcest die pair of the year.  An argument may be made for the 1830 O.109, but my vote lies with the O.105.  Check your AMBPR to compare auction appearances.  Congratulations to the PCGS graders for recognizing that worn dies, not wear, account for the soft impression on this high grade piece.  The coin sports original surfaces, with abundant luster buried under layers of antique toning.  From the Kings Park Collection.  

Estimate: $800 to $1,100
