- An AMAZING example of the O-103 overdate. Personally, this cataloger (GC) LOVES this variety, and this coin is a personal favorite of his--ever since he cataloged it in our sale of the Konstantine Collection! 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. This is a MONSTER toner, as well as being a borderline GEM example. Its beauty is hypnotic! The luster is bold bringing out the gorgeous blues and oranges that evenly drape both sides; blues at the periphery, tangerine-gold in the centers. Sharply struck for the variety, the devices are bold throughout. A strong glass will reveal a few very tiny marks, which account for the assigned grade, none of which are distracting the the naked eye appeal. We cannot say how much we love this near-GEM piece!

PCGS 9, NGC 1. We sold this coin for $18,213 on an estimate of $11,000-$12,500. While the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $12,500 we expect this colorful and gorgeous example will again sell for a very strong bid. This is one of those varieties whose coolness factor is off the charts! Cert. Number 43300181 PCGS # 6138.00
