Lot Title:
|
1802 (C-2, R.3) 1802/0 Reverse of 1802. PCGS VG-8.
|
|
Description:
|
Obverse detail is identical to that seen on a PCGS VG-10, while the reverse is actually a point or two sharper, making this a textbook example of a "silent net grade" at the PCGS VG-8 level. Moderate corrosion has roughened up the dark surfaces to some extent, but the texture is even and consistent from side to side, permitting a reasonably nice presentation of the design elements. A trio of dull, old pin scratches traverse Liberty's portrait, and a slightly deeper cut penetrates "ES" of STATES on the reverse, but all have been dulled long ago by the effects of the environmental reactivity. There are no noticeable bumps or bruises, given that the PCGS insert hides the rims. (PCGS# 001057)

Most 1802 half-cents seem to have been struck on spoiled large-cents, cut down to accommodate the smaller half-cent design. In this case, there can be no doubt, since a complete and fully legible... |

1802/0 reverse of 1802 (C-1). PCGS VG-10.
