Description
1802 S-232, B-12 Cent, With Stems, AU58
Blundered Obverse Die
1802 1C With Stems AU58 NGC. S-232, B-12, R.1. MRB AU50.
Breen Die State III, fairly early in the life of this die pair that
eventually develops "an attractive series of reverse die breaks,"
according to Sheldon. The blundered obverse die has the T in
LIBERTY punched over an erroneous Y. The S-232 die pair is the most
common of the date, a variety often chosen for type
collections.Both sides are glossy with tan and olive on the obverse, and darker steel on the reverse, that side showing faded traces of original red. The sharpness is nearly Mint State with the net grade lowered due to faint hairlines and trivial handling marks. Noyes calls this piece AU55, net AU50, and tied for eighth finest known.
Operating primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s, NASCA was the Numismatic and Antiquarian Service Corporation of America, owned by George W. Ball. The firm included R.M. Smythe and employed several notable numismatists including Herb Melnick, Martin Gengerke, Fred Werner, and Douglas Ball.
