1802/1 B-2, BB-233 Wide Date Rarity 4. PCGS graded AU-50. Subset of PCGS # 40090. In a new secure plus holder. Condition Census. Well detailed for this more difficult late-in-the-game issue, with light silver accenting on the devices, medium silver-gray in the fields, and deeper old-silver or antique shades surrounding the stars and legends; all these add significantly to the attraction of this nearly mark-free specimen.
Only about 76 to 200 are known of 1802/1 BB-233. Specimens appear on the market with about the same frequency as BB-231, which isn't that often. As is the case with the BB-231, all are nearly always found in lower grades. AU specimens are great rarities, and it may be the case that no Mint State coins survive. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 40093) .
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
The Dr. Hesselgesser Collection.
