Lot Description

1802 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-101, T-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3. VF-35 (PCGS). Slightly mottled olive-gay patina is more extensive on the obverse, the reverse with a more uniform medium gray appearance. Both sides retain plenty of sharp detail, especially in the more protected areas of the design. With faint traces of original luster shining forth as the surfaces dip into a light, this is coin is attractive for circulated type purposes, as well as to represent the only known die marriage of the 1802-dated issue in an early half dollar variety set. Tompkins Die Stage 1/1. PCGS# 6065. NGC ID: 24EE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
