Lot 1955
1802, 2 over 1. Miller-52, Breen 2-F, Rarity-5. . M-52. Sharpness of AU-50 but harshly cleaned and repaired. High overdate, imperfect T's on the reverse which are missing their right lower serif. Examination will note swirl marks in the fields near the obverse stars, and one must conclude that the surfaces have been lightly smoothed. Further, the surfaces have been cleaned but the coin has started to tone with a bit of coppery tones on Liberty's cap. This is a later die state with the crack from the arrows to the left side of the shield at the top. Well struck, but minor weakness can be seen at the rims. One to be inspected, as always with early gold.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From the Robert W. Miller, Sr., collection.
