Description

1820 50C Square Base Knob 2, Large Date AU55 PCGS. O-105a, R.3. The obverse has a large date with a square base 2 and a knob on that digit, appearing on O-104 and O-105. The reverse of O-105 has a triple-segment in the border beside the top pair of olive leaves. This late die state piece has extensive obverse cracks described in Overton for State a. Lovely gold toning over satin luster accompanies the nice strike of this example. Splashes of deeper peripheral gold are evident on both sides.
