Extremely Rare 1802/0 C-1 Half Cent, VG8
Reverse of 1800

1802/0 1/2 C Reverse of 1800 VG8 PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.6. One of the classic rarities in the half cent series, the 1802 Reverse of 1800 variety is a distinct Guide Book type that is represented by a single die pair. The extant population of this variety is less than 20 coins, and the finest of them barely reaches VF. In terms of absolute numbers, it is rarer than the 1796 No Pole half cent, and has a lower overall Condition Census. As part of the Draped Bust series, it commands a lower price.
This impressive piece has dark brown surfaces with few scratches or other blemishes. The left obverse field has a shallow depression, and the reverse has light porosity. However, its overall quality is excellent. This piece will surely see active bidding from specialists and trophy hunters. EAC 7.
