Lot Title:
|
1802/0 REVERSE OF 1802 (C-2) Overstruck on 1802 Large Cent. PCGS GD-4.
|
|
Description:
|
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 large-cent "1802" shows upside-down right next to the denomination on the reverse. Clearly, the host coin was cut from a large-cent that was struck about 90% off-center, and some stubborn large-cent dentilation even remains visible across the right side of LIBERTY. With most of the host coin's planchet unstruck, that left plenty of room for the half-cent motifs to hammer on virgin planchet, and despite the low G-4 grade, this coin shows an attractive, bold outline for every major device. Three or four ancient hairlines pass up and to the right across Liberty's profile, and a few trivial tiny planchet voids dot the space in the field. (PCGS# 001057)

1802 1802/0 REVERSE OF 1802. NGC AG-3.

New World Estate. C-2. The 1802 half-cent of either Cohen variety has notoriety for the vast proportion of ugly survivors, balanced by a very limited supply of attractive specimens at any grade... |

1802/0 reverse of 1802 (C-1). PCGS VG-10.
|
|
The surfaces are preserved more nicely than usual for this very difficult date in the half-cent series. Most examples are rough, but this one is not far from ideal, with crumbs of old verdigris and... |

1802 (C-2, R.3) 1802/0 Reverse of 1802. PCGS VG-8.
|
|
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... |
