Of the two distinct die pairings, the O-102, which is the 16 Stars variety, is rarer, with about 60-65 known in all grades, and listed as high Rarity-5+ in the AMBPR and Rarity-6 in Overton. Regardless of actual numbers, many of the precious few survivors have major surface issues that would preclude grading at PCGS or NGC (cleaning, corrosion, environmental damage, tooling, etc are common occurrences). This is a wonderful collector-grade example that is a real delight to behold. A classic Fine, with moderate to heavy, even wear. Possessing a delightful "circ-cam" look with rich toning in the fields and lighter gray on the reliefs. Light adjustment marks are seen in the central obverse. A glass will reveal some minor circulation marks, including a trio of thin hairlines on the portrait and a small rim bump at 10:00 will serve as pedigree markers. The eye appeal is exceptional for a coin of modest grade. Ex. U.S. Coins, via private purchase, April 2015. PCGS 5, NGC 1. The last one to sell realized $45,600 in January 2018 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $57,500. Everyone knows how rare this type is in ANY GRADE and is a Top 100 U.S. coin (#57 in the Garrett/Guth 100 Greatest U.S. Coins). Worthy of a fantastic collector grade type set! Demand for collector grade coins like this is extremely high, always considered a "blue chip" of American numismatics! If you need one, do not let this pleasing, evenly worn, example pass you by!
