Lot 115
1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 VG8. Struck over Spoiled Large Cent. Sharpness F15 but there are specks of greenish verdigris on the reverse and traces of very light roughness on both sides. Several small contact marks are scattered over both sides, including a fine diagonal scratch on the cheek and a nick in the field under the tip of the chin. Glossy chocolate brown with slightly lighter toning on the devices. Struck over a spoiled large cent showing the O of ONE and a few leaves left of the date. No cent undertype is visible on the reverse. Not the most attractive half cent in this sale, but the date and devices are all strong and the large cent undertype is obvious. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. Weight 82.6 grains. Davy #02.2.11.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
