<Our item number 114164><B>1802/1 &#36;2.50 Capped Bust. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ.</B> Now more correctly described as 1802 &#40;without the overdate designation&#41; since conservative opinion has come to the conclusion there is no underlying 1 under the 2 in the date. Light golden toning with plenty of frosty mint luster intact and a <B>Premium Quality</B> coin for the grade. A lovely example free from adjustment marks. Only 3035 minted. <B>Pop 6; 4 in 62, 6 in 63</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7650&#41;</B>. <BR><BR>The Harry Bass sale put it best: &#34;1802 quarter eagles have historically been catalogued as 1802/1 overdates. We are of the opinion that minor damage to the die or punch caused the artifacts that led past numismatists to attribute these as overdates.&#34; <BR>Estimated Value &#36;24,000-26,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 114164<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114164.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114164N2.jpg"> </P></ IMAGES>
