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.
