1802 Draped Bust Half Dollar. . O-101. PCGS graded EF-45. One of the finest graded of this rare date, PCGS has yet to grade any as Mint State! In fact, only 5 have been graded as EF-45, and 7 graded higher in various AU grades. This one has lovely umber colors on both sides, with full and complete curls on Liberty, strong stars and clean surfaces. Similar on the reverse, trouble free wear (what little wear there is) and very well balanced. As a date, 1802 half dollars were not saved, virtually all entered circulation and stayed there for years, with few today known in high grades. If you are a date or variety collector, then you would do well to purchase this lovely coin for your collection. This exact coin sold for in excess of $4,200 to a collector a few years ago, and could be worth more today. As a date, this is very under appreciated and downright rare in this condition. Expect worthy competition to capture this prize.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
