Lot 2882
1802/1 B-4, BB-232 Close Date Rarity 4 NGC graded VF Details. Improperly cleaned. Struck on a problem-free planchet. Uniform light greyish violet toning. Much to the admiration of collectors, the overdate on the 1802, 2 over 1 dollar is clearly visible. This specimen has clear, bold devices on the reverse, including full motto on the ribbon which the eagle has in its beak. Strong shield.
In heraldry, the US shield is composed of the blue Chief (top horizontal bars) and the red and white Pales (thirteen vertical stripes, seven red background bars with six bands of raised lines representing the white) which represent the several states all joined in one solid compact entire, supporting a Chief which unites the whole and represents Congress. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM alludes to this union.
The stripes are kept closely united by the Chief, and the Chief depends upon the union and the strength resulting from it for its support to denote the Confederacy of the United States of America and the preservation of their union through Congress.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.
