- 1802 Draped Bust Half Dollar. O-101, T-1. Rarity-3. EF-40 (PCGS). Deep olive and turquoise hues paint the protected regions of this handsome specimen from the second year of the Heraldic Eagle type. The surfaces are remarkably composed under a glass and smooth to the naked eye. Gentle circulation has just lightly worn the high points, with Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers both intricately preserved. Just one pair of dies was employed to strike the entire 1802 issue, recycling the reverse die from the 1801 O-102 variety. With 29,890 coins struck, this issue has the lowest mintage of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle type and is a key date along with the 1801. The Condition Census is topped by two Mint State examples, including the MS-62 (PCGS) Pogue specimen, followed by a half dozen pieces down through the lower AU grades. A pleasing EF example like the current piece still falls comfortably within the top 25 or so specimens and is a significant find for half dollar collectors. Provenance: From the Sutton Court Collection of Early Half Dollar Varieties. Acquired privately from Bowers and Merena, September 1988. PCGS Population: 2; 6 finer through MS-62 (O-101 variety only) PCGS# 39269. NGC ID: 24EE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
