Here is the exact same reverse die that was also used on 1803 O103 and O104, this is PCGS XF40 O104, crossed from NGC XF40, which I think barely made the grade, note the reverse dentilation compared to the subject coin:
edit - Habaraca - yes, it will be in an PCGS XF40 holder when its time to sell I bought it in the VF35 holder
