1836 -  O.104a R.3 PCGS AU 55 Gold CAC OGH

Where’s the rub?  Raucous luster is unbroken through the lightly toned fields and across the devices.  The surfaces are a marvel.  Perhaps PCGS did not care for the splash of darker toning on the portrait.  Last offered at Heritage’s Feb. 2013 Long Beach Sale, lot 3468 where it landed just short of $1,300.  The reverse die, in its first use, was later married to a new obverse – dated 1834!  Est. $1,000 to $1,500.
