详细说明

Like the 1801, the 1802 half dollar saw a very limited mintage of 29,890, all struck from a single pair of dies. The O-101 is a Rarity-3 die pair. This high grade example is in the Overton Condition Census, and just below the Tompkins Census. Rich multi-hued and totally original lovely patina graces both sides of this high grade 1802 half dollar. Attractive blue-green and violet toning is seen at the peripheries, blending and fading into rose-gold near the central areas. A brilliant underlying luster clings to the surfaces on this borderline Mint State coin, which brings the subtle differences in shades to life, especially when rotated in a light. Some barely visible friction is all that keeps this coin from an Uncirculated grade. A couple of ticks are noted in the left obverse field, forever serving as a pedigree marker for this high end beauty. Ex. 2009 ANA Auction, Heritage, July 2009, lot 1113; 2014 FUN Auction, Heritage, January 2014, lot 5244; Dr. Charles Link Collection; private treaty sale to our consignor, October 2015. PCGS 6, NGC 3. The most recent example to sell in auction was the Dale Friend Collection coin, sold in the 2018 ANA auction for $40,800. This piece is finer, and it realized $54,344 in the 2014 FUN auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $55,000. There are just three examples graded higher at PCGS, an MS60 and two in MS62, including the D. Brent Pogue coin that brought $117,500 in 2015. This is a very high end example that will see strong bidding. Good luck. Cert. Number 31408665 PCGS # 6065.00
