Lot 1550
1802. O-101. Rarity 3. PCGS graded VF-30. Plenty of detail for the grade and mostly untoned except at the periphery where lovely golden russet has begun to appear. The reverse die that the Philadelphia Mint used to strike all 29,890 1802-dated Draped Bust Half Dollars was first used in 1801 mated to the single obverse die of that year. Because of the limited original mintage, the 1802 is a scarce date, with most other survivors well circulated or unattractive to one degree or another (PCGS # 6065) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.
