1802/0 C-1 R-6 PCGS VG Details Rev of 1800 Draped Bust Half Cent Coin 1/2c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded VG Details. Attractive chocolate brown fine porosity on the surfaces.
This extremely rare variety features a previously unused 1800-dated obverse die that was over dated by punching a 2 over the final 0, and reuses the reverse die of 1800 with a line of die rust from the E in UNITED to the wreath. In the Half Cent Die State Book, Ron Manley writes that the 1802 C-1 half cents were struck between early and late die states of the C-2 variety that reuses the over dated obverse die with a new reverse.
