Lot 1339
1802 Draped Bust Dollar. Narrow date. PCGS graded AU-53. Attractive uniform light pastel toning on both sides. No problems worth mentioning. A high degree of original luster springs to life beneath the toned highlights. Everywhere we peer with an all-seeing magnifying lens we find sharp detail. The obverse, the reverse, both sides display much more detail than can be found on just about any other 1802 dollar of this variety and grade level. We almost expect the coin's buyer to have a special box made in which to keep his purchase, it is that classy looking.
BB-242 with T in LIBERTY perfect, normal denticulated borders. (BB-241, the only other normal date 1802 other than the restrike Proof, has a defective right base on the T in LIBERTY). Pop 22; 62 finer (PCGS # 6895) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
