Lot 1612
1802, 2 over 1. Narrow date. B-4, BB-232. Rarity 4. NGC graded AU-53. Mostly untoned. Although essentially lightly circulated, the smooth, satiny surfaces show a decided luster evidence around the stars, date and legends as well as throughout the devices, pointing to the case where this coin must have resided out of mainstream commerce for most of its existence. An exceedingly attractive coin, and a bold one too. Here, we are struck by the nice, convincing design detail for all areas of this important early Draped Bust, Large Eagle dollar, a coin with not even the slightest amount of flatness on the stars or hair elements. The 2 over 1 overdate is an added feature. The only series dates where an overdate occurs is 1799 and 1802. Pop 1; 4 finer for the variety, 1 in 55, 1 in 58, 1 in 61, 1 in 63. Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500
