O-103. Your cataloger LOVES this variety, and in particular, this coin's stunning, gorgeous looks! He just cannot put it down, its beauty is hypnotic! The eye appeal of this essentially GEM quality example is AMAZING. The luster is bold bringing out the gorgeous blues and oranges that evenly drape both sides. Sharply struck for the variety, the devices are bold throughout. The O-103 is a wonderful enigma for collectors, and has been since it was first described in Beistle's Type Table. The final digit was repunched multiple times. Al Overton could not figure out the exact combination of digits, and just called it a "jumble of recuttings." There are clear signs of a 3 or a 2, a 0, and perhaps an underlying 1. PCGS 9, NGC 1. This beauty is the famed "New York Connoisseur's Collection" coin, sold by ANR in March 2006, as lot 746, where it sold for $19,950. That was its first appearance since it sold in Lester Merkin's February 1972 auction; previously from Lester Merkin's March 1967 auction. This coin has been off the market for over four years, since it sold in a June 2015 auction for $11,163. Far prettier than the Gardner PCGS MS64 CAC and the most recent example that sold, which was ex Link. There is only a single MS65 graded finer at PCGS which has never sold in auction. We find it remarkable that even though this is a major Red Book variety, it was missing from the D. Brent Pogue Collection. This beautiful, GEM quality coin is truly worthy of the FINEST cabinet of Capped Bust halves. We can see this jumble of recuttings bringing an extremely strong bid! Cert. Number 83540645 PCGS # 6138
