Overton 101. Attractive silver-gray surfaces, well detailed, and devoid of significant marks. A desirable example of this scarce date which saw a mintage of just 29,880.

CAC. Reverse of 1802. All 1802 half cents are overdates with the O clearly seen below the 2 of the date. They are also very scarce and truly rare when found in decent grades and problem-free. The vast majority of known coins are ‘rough’, to say the least. They are also unknown in mint state. […]

A lovely example of this very clear overdate. The underlying 1 sits boldly beneath the primary 2 in the date. The surfaces are choice and original. They’re a pleasing light coin-gray with some darker gray toning at the bottom of the obverse. The design features are bold and minimal marks are insignificant and well hidden.

Large 3. Solid detail with surfaces that blend light silver-gray shades. Traces of mint luster remain on both obverse and reverse.

Large 3. Very attractive with strong detail and choice original coin-gray surfaces

C-1. Very attractive with strong detail and nice problem-free light brown surfaces.

14 Star Reverse. An outstanding example of this rare and desirable coin from a low-mintage year. Just 2,827 minted and an estimated 150 to 200 known survivors. This near-mint state specimen displays strong eye appeal with vibrant golden luster and only the slightest signs of friction on the high points of the design.

Spiked Chin. Cohen-8. The last marriage of the Spiked Chin obverse following Cohen-5, 6, and 7. This is a late die state of this durable die. A ‘Spike’ extends from Liberty’s chin, a ‘tongue’ appears to stick out between her lips, and curved die lines are seen in the field opposite her neck. This is […]

C-5. Spiked Chin. R-4. The rarest of the 4 different Spiked Chin varieties. Well detailed and attractive with the dramatic spike coming off Liberty’s chin, plus the reverse has a heavy bisecting die crack with additional peripheral die cracks.
