There is conciderable difference in the dates of the 1820 Gold Sovereign. Open 2 and closed 2 being the main difference but also an I has been used in the date. There are also 1820 Gold Sovereigns with a small o instead of 0. Large dates shorts dates and the dates have a gap between 18 and 20. I suppose quality was not that important in 1820. Out of about 10 1820 Gold Sovereigns I have seen, it seems the date is different in every one.
Marsh 4A Short date figures. Rare.
Marsh 4B Small 0 in date. Rare.
Marsh 4C I used in date instead of 1. Rarity 2.
Proofs were minted with reeded edge and smooth.
