Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 60		1802/0 C-1 R6 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1800 AG3. Sharpness VG8 or slightly better where the details were properly struck up, but the surfaces are covered with fine to moderate granularity. No verdigris but there is a significant rim dent over LI in LIBERTY and the opposing rim over UNI in UNITED. The date is complete and easily readable and most of the legends remain visible, although they are not strong. Slightly glossy medium brown on the devices blending to darker chocolate brown and olive in protected areas. The radial die crack through the E in UNITED to the wreath is obvious but the single leaf feature at the top of the wreath is faint at best. An easily attributable example of the very rare 1802 with the reverse of 1800 variety. Weight 90.1 grains. Estimated Value $8,000-UP. Ex Don Steinmetz-Rich Bilancia 1/28/1990. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,225
Lot 61		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 F15+. Sharpness VF25 and the eye appeal is quite nice, especially for an 1802 half cent, but there are a few contact marks. The notable ones are a scuff of fine hairline scratches in the field before the bust, a dull scratch from AT in STATES down to the U in UNITED, and a dull dent between HA in HALF and CE in CENT. All the marks are old and blend perfectly into the very attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown toning. Nicely struck LDS, Manley state 5.0, with traces of die rust on both sides and a clearly defined rim cud break from the second A in AMERICA to below the second 0 in the denominator. This example is superior to the Manley plate coin for the late die state and it comes with an excellent provenance. Weight 86.5 grains. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Philip M. Showers, Stack's 1969 (privately)-Willis Harrington DuPont-Fred S. Werner 2/1976-Superior Stamp & Coin 2/1976-Joe Flynn and Son Rare Coins, Inc. 4/20/1976-R.

Lot 62		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 VG8. Struck over an Off-Center Large Cent. Attractive glossy medium brown with smooth surfaces. There are a few trivial contact marks on both sides, all consistent with the grade. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The curl left of the date is complete and strong, and traces of die rust are visible around LIBE. This piece was struck over an off-center large cent. A couple of the leaves from the reverse of the large cent are visible at the 2 in the date, and the bottom of a letter (possibly an F from OF) is clearly visible under that 2. In addition an obvious arc of deeply impressed incuse dentils from a brockage impression (probably from a half cent based on the curve of the arc) is located over ES-O. A nice example of a multiple mint error. And the overdate feature remains easily visible in spite some confusion caused by the undertype large cent details in that area. Weight 85.6 grains.
