Description
Scarce 1802/0 Reverse of 1802 Half Cent
VF20 Details, C-2, B-2
1802/0 1/2 C Reverse of 1802--Corroded--ANACS. VF20 Details.
C-2, B-2, R.3. This variety uses a different wreath on the reverse
that is similar to that of the cents of 1796-1807. All show the
blundered date. Breen writes that 1802 cents were struck over
spoiled cent planchets and they are typically seen in low grades
with corrosion. Nonetheless, this exceptional piece shows only
light corrosion on the obverse and minimal pitting around the
perimeter of the reverse. Attractive mahogany patina throughout
with no marks worthy of mention except for a small spot in the
obverse field. Breen estimates the mintage of all 1802 half cents
at just 14,366 pieces, making this one of the rarest years. The
Cohen-2 is the only 1802 half cent within the reach of most
collectors, with only 16 to 18 known of the C-1 variety. EAC 8.From The Jerry Kochel Collection.(Registry values: P7)
