Description
1802/0 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-3. Second Reverse (a.k.a. Reverse of 1802). Fine-12 (PCGS). CAC.
A very scarce issue as a whole, all 1802 half cents are overdates. Two distinct Guide Book varieties exist with the die marriages: one mating the obverse with a left over 1800 reverse die with the single leaf at the top of the wreath; and this one, with a double leaf at the top (this reverse die was used in subsequent years as well). The mintage was just over 20,000 and today, PCGS CoinFacts estimates that only 400 survive in all grades, none above EF grades (the finest is a coin that was in the Missouri Cabinet in an AU details--Scratched holder, followed by the Pogue coin, a PCGS EF-45 that is now in the High Desert Collection. The present coin is very choice for the Fine-12 grade, as noted by its CAC-approval. Light brown patina with traces of olive and reddish tan are seen in on both sides. Even, generally problem free wear defines both sides, which still retain boldly outlined devices. A heavy die crack from the obverse rim at about 8 o'clock goes into Liberty's lower hair curls. A very desirable early half cent rarity, one that belongs in an advanced cabinet of early copper.
PCGS# 1057. NGC ID: 222D.
From the Tom Hyland Collection.
