Description
Famously Rare 1802 Half Dime
V-1, LM-1, AG Details
1802 H10C -- Bent -- PCGS Genuine. AG Details. V-1, LM-1,
R.5. A small roundish dig behind Liberty's neck causes a
noticeable bend and uneven wear. Most of LIBERTY and the date is
clear, as are the right-side stars. The left-side stars are nearly
worn smooth. The reverse has a few readable letters and the eagle
motif is perhaps two-thirds outlined. One thin horizontal mark is
noted on the eagle's head and a minor pinscratch is on the upper
left obverse field. All in all, these problems are acceptable for
many collectors who dare to attempt ownership of this famous First
Mint rarity. Among half dime issues, only the unique 1870-S is more
difficult to acquire. The fame of the 1802 half dime is such that
it receives its own chapter in the Logan-McCloskey standard
reference to the series.
