Description

Near-Mint BD-2 1802/1 Five Dollar

1802/1 $5 AU58 NGC. Breen-6440, BD-2, High R.4. This variety has the low overdate obverse with an extensively cracked reverse. Eight different varieties are known for the 1802 half eagle coinage, and all are 1802 over 1 overdates; however, these are from two distinctly different obverse dies. The first obverse die, seen here, has the final digit about centered between the bust and the border. The other obverse die has the top of the digit 2 touching the drapery. This is a pleasing example with lightly reflective fields and attractive greenish-gold coloration. Minor friction and a few old, faint pinscratches are visible, but overall, this attractive half eagle is highly desirable.(Registry values: P2)
