I was curious because it was attributed as a R3 but my book had it as a R4. So I was trying to determine why that difference existed. Sounds like earlier editions of Overton had it as R3 but the 5th edition it’s listed as R4.

Gotcha ...
The current rarity ratings from the Bust Half Nut Club are:
1826 O.120, R4-
1826 O.120a, R4
This means the die marriage rarity is R4- and your die state rarity is R4.

O-120a R3.....Very nice looking coin!
Dave
Question - the Overton book I have (5th edition) has this as a R4. Is there another source that has more recent data?
I am using Overton’s 3rd edition.
Yours is more recent

Thanks Dave - yes coin is great just came in the mail today from Sheridan Downey.

I know, saw it on his website. You picked a winner.... Enjoy it!

I remember this coin. It is very pretty. Albanese liked it too.
Here are crisper pix for your use (Sheridan's are reduced to a smaller size to speed displaying).

Thanks for the pictures Lance. My question was really about the rarity rating difference I saw.
Yes it has the green bean as well.
