1802 -  O.101 R.3 PCGS VF25 CAC

A handsome survivor of a low mintage date.  The production of 1802 draped bust half-dollars ended at 29,890 pieces.  Light to medium grey toning provides the backdrop for this evenly worn example.  The half-dollars of 1801 and 1802 are want list fixtures of comparable rarity.  Sadly, a good many have been “toyed with” in misguided efforts to improve them.  Here is an honest, eye appealing example.  Est. $2,500 to $3,000.
