Description
1802 Half Dollar, O-101
AU Sharpness, Key Date
1802 50C -- Obverse Tooled -- NGC Details. AU. O-101, R.3.
Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. The only die variety for this low mintage
date, a key to the Heraldic Eagle series. Bankers of the day
preferred the more convenient silver dollar. The present piece has
lovely peripheral autumn-gold, ocean-blue, and rose-red toning. In
AU condition the 1802 is exceedingly rare. Unfortunately the lower
right obverse field on this example is smoothed and pinscratches
are hidden beneath the toning at 6 and 12 o'clock. The reverse is
problem-free aside from a small smoothed area near the E in
AMERICA. Light adjustment marks are noted through the F in OF and
the cloud below.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $25.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
