Lot Title:
|
1802 2/0 Reverse of 1802 (C-2). ANACS Good details/corroded NET AG-3.
|
|
Description:
|
Things get damaged, and things get broken, and if words could be spoken of the last two centuries, the story could be told of this humble copper passing through the hands of countless citizens during our nation's early existence. ANACS says the coin is corroded, but once, this was a brand new coin. Take a look at the positive attributes, including smooth surfaces and marvelous color. What has this coin seen on its journey through the years? We cannot take the injuries away, but we can appreciate the spirit of a true survivor. So see the surface voids for what they truly are: a testament to ages past that will never pass this way again.

Die state is undetermined because of the advanced wear, but most certainly an early die-state, since die cracks are not readily apparent, and HALF CENT is sharp on the reverse. Odds are in favor of... |

1802 2/0 Reverse of 1802 (C-2, R.3). NGC F-15.
|
|
The rust chip between "IB" is visible, but the central reverse is weak, putting this between die-states II and III. This is a rather amazing 1802 half-cent when one considers the difficulties the... |

1802 2/0 2nd Reverse, C-2, R-3. VG-10.
