Lot 1610
1802/1. B-9, BB-235. Rarity 5. PCGS graded EF-40. Dark toning on both sides. With the toning somewhat mottled in areas, deepest on the face and neck and into the field on either side of Liberty, lighter elsewhere. Excellent detail for this often unevenly struck coin (due to die damage on the later die states, as here). We note some minor weakness on the scroll, the eagle’s head and chest feathers, and there is the usual slight bulge in the area above affecting some stars and clouds. Die crack as usual right of the second S in STATES. An impressing coin for this higher end, low-population grade: Pop 2; 2 finer for the variety, 1 in 53, 1 in 55. (PCGS # 40095) Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400
