1802 NORMAL DIES CENT, MS63 BROWN
CONDITION CENSUS 1802 S-225
1802 S-225 R3 MS63 Brown PCGS, CAC Approved. Frosty light
olive and steel brown with a few tiny peeps of very faded mint
color in protected areas, particularly on the reverse. Satiny mint
luster covers this cent and it has great eye appeal. Just a few
trivial marks including a puff of darker olive brown toning at the
dentil tips before the chin, a few dull ticks on the bust (not to
be confused with the die clashmarks in the same area), and a small
spot of microscopic reddish carbon at the ribbon left of the
numerator. MDS, Breen state III, with strong die clashmarks near
the dentils at the bust plus a few more actually on the bust. There
are fine die cracks on the reverse, but the rim cud under the date
has not formed. There is a strong double profile on the jaw (caused
by die bounce or shift during the strike). Graded MS62 and tied for
CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21167. Bland says MS60 and
tied for CC#5. This cataloger's EAC grade is MS60+. The attribution
and Doug Bird Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold
Shield label. PCGS population 2; none finer. 36290.63/37573059.Ex Ed Hipps 1/1988-Douglas F. Bird Collection, Goldbergs 2/16/2020:89-Walter J. Husak Collection.
Joseph Richardson, Jr. was commissioned at the Mint on December 12, 1795, and served the institution as the assayer for 35 years until his death in 1831. He earned an annual salary of $1,500. He was the son of Joseph Richardson, and a member of a Quaker family of Philadelphia goldsmiths, following his father, and his grandfather, Francis Richardson, Jr. Shortly after the start of the Revolutionary War, Joseph, Jr. and his younger brother Nathaniel (1754-1827) continued the family business that their grandfather started in 1702. He was married to Ruth Hoskins in 1780, and they had eight children including John, born in 1790. That same year, Nathaniel left the business, favoring ironmongery, establishing a hardware and woodworking business. Following the Revolutionary War, Richardson made many silver pieces for the U.S. Government to present to Indians, including medals, arm and wrist bands, and other pieces.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
