Description

1802 MS 60. BB-241, B-6, R.1. Boldly struck and very well detailed, but cleaned long ago. Over the years a lilac and steel-blue toning has formed over the surfaces, toning down some of the brightness and making the coin very pleasing to the eye. This remains a very desirable coin and one of the nicest of the variety to survive. Bowers lists many mint state examples of this variety, so this one does not quite make the condition census, but then, it also will not require a mortgage either. From the remarkable Faraday collection, originally purchased as Lot 1564 in Stack's 1969 sale of the famed R.L. Miles collection, where it was described in part as, "...a needle-sharp impression with full radial lines...lustrous and prooflike."
