1802 Narrow Date Dollar, AU53
B-6, BB-241, Lightly Toned

1802 $1 Narrow Date, B-6, BB-241, R.1, AU53 PCGS. Bowers Die State III, called by Bowers the "close perfect date." A wide space between the 8 and 0 of the date confirms the variety. Faint traces of olive-gold color and ivory-gold shades enrich the obverse. Chestnut and ice-blue accents briefly visit the reverse. A hint of friction is noted on the cheek and drapery, but this lovely piece provides substantial mint luster and nearly all of its original detail. Light adjustment marks, as made, are localized to 2 o'clock on the reverse yet appear to a lesser extent in other areas near the rims, and a few light pinscratches are noted on both sides. A minor retained lamination, as struck, reaches the Y in LIBERTY. 1802 Draped Bust Dollars of the present quality are infrequently offered, and are insufficient to satisfy the growing number of early dollar collectors.
