Ex Eliasberg-Kaufman-Link, as noted on the insert. This is the second highest graded at PCGS, and since it was, at one time graded MS66 by NGC, we have no problem saying that this extensively pedigreed GEM is likely FINEST or at the very least, tied for FINEST KNOWN O-101! The 1820 mintage has the distinction of being the third lowest in the series, behind the 1815/2 and the 1807; only 751,122 were produced. There were two overdates, one with the square base 2 and the other with the curl base 2. Extremely rare in this state of preservation and with a fantastic provenance! Stunning swirling cartwheel mint bloom dances on both the obverse and reverse. An understated pastel icy-blue, slate, golden-silver iridescent toning is brought to life by the strong luster. A few minor ticks and light lines can be detected with a strong glass, but none are distracting or take away from the great overall eye appeal. All the devices are exceptionally well struck and it is amazing how this coin was clearly taken care of since the time it was minted. Ex Louis E. Eliasberg Collection, Part II, Bowers & Merena/Stack's, April 1997, lot 1769; Phil Kaufman Collection; Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Heritage, April 2009, lot 2424; Heritage, August 2011, lot 7150 (as NGC MS66); Dr. Charles Link Collection; Regency Auction XIX, Legend Rare Coin Auctions, lot 295 (as PCGS MS65); Heritage, April 2017, lot 15753; Jim O'Neal Collection; Selections of the Jim O'Neal Collection, Heritage, April 2019, lot 3740; our consignor. PCGS 1, NGC 1. This coin last sold for $33,600 in April 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $37,500. UNIQUE graded finer, the Dr. Juan XII Soros-D. Brent Pogue MS65+ sold in 2015 for $47,000. An exceptional GEM with a fantastic pedigree that will appeal to any connoisseur of this ever popular series. Whether you collect by date, Red Book variety, Overton number, or specialize in overdates, do not overlook this incredible GEM! Good luck! Cert. Number 25343939 PCGS # 6125.00
