Lot 1189
1802. B-6, BB-241 Rarity 1. PCGS graded EF-45. A well struck example on a nice problem-free planchet. Hints of mint luster peek through the lovely natural antique greyish-violet toning. The 1802 BB-241 dollar is the one Heraldic Eagle dollar of 1798-1803 most often encountered, with many fine pieces known. It is identified by the missing right foot of T in LIBERTY. This is the only 1802 Normal Date variety with that feature.
A boldly defined coin like this, in lovely Extremely Fine condition is the exception. We expect that all will agree it is an aesthetically attractive early dollar with sharp details on the design elements on both sides (PCGS # 40088) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
