CAC Green Sticker. O-102, R4, Very Scarce, 121-160 coins extant. CAC data: 52 total, 9 on Grade, 28 higher (3/2020). Comment from GRFC: Large Eagle Reverse, Robert Scot Engraver, Low Mintage Date, Near-Gem at Grade, CAC Approved. There are certain desirable early type coins that don't often appear in the market place. 1801 and 1802 Draped Bust halves are an example. What a delight when this near-gem original 1801 O-102 specimen walked up to the GFRC table at the Whitman Baltimore show. An example that is exceptionally well preserved with unabraded fields. Natural crusty gray patina covers the fields on both sides while the main device wear points are lightly colored. One could say this piece has a partial circulated cameo appearance and eye appeal. Accurately grade and housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. I bought the coin at the 2020 National Money Show in Atlanta. Coin was also in Sheridan Downey's MB 43 auction conducted 8/10/2016, but did not sell. It did not have a CAC sticker at the time. Here are his comments from that auction catalogue: Medium grey, lighter on the devices. Lovely surfaces! Dandy coin for the date or first year type collector. Just one obverse die was used in this low mintage inaugural year. It is paired with two reverse dies. Here is an example of the second marriage. The O.102 is distinctly scarcer than the O.101.
