Lot 194
1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 Cast Copy VF35. Glossy light reddish chocolate brown. A well-executed cast copy of the famous Brobston-Miles coin (which is the plate coin for the variety in the Breen encyclopedia). The surfaces are glossy but slightly granular at the same time, which is consistent with what you expect on a cast copy. No base metal shows, not even on the edge. Essentially as made. The work is so well done that this piece was purchased as genuine long ago. Weight 103.3 grains. Davy #02.2.9.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Harrisburg Numismatic Gallery 9/23/1971.
