After missing out on a very nice PCGS VF-35 example (nice coins around this grade are very tough to find), I picked up a place-holder until the next unicorn surfaces. The coin is an R-5 ... but one of the hardest R-5 pieces to locate.
While the tooling is unfortunate, the coin looks acceptable in hand ... especially for an 1820 O-107.
Only 11 more die marriages until the magical 450 is reached. Sadly, only 1 of these 11 is in my budget. The balance of the 11 are not for mere mortals.

Wow, that's quite the accomplishment and dedication to a set. Can you post pictures of the other 439 coins you have
? I'll wait patiently, thanks!
That is a major accomplishment... even with 11 to go.... Congratulations... and hang in there, sometimes a special coin will turn up where you least expect it and at a good price. It does happen. Cheers, RickO
Congrats on getting down to 11! I expect that you will find a couple more!
The coin looks perfectly acceptable and the detail is nicer than Good.
