1802/0 1/2 C Reverse of 1802--Corroded,
<B>1802/0 1/2 C Reverse of 1802--Corroded, Scratched--ANACS. VF30 Details.</B></I> C-2, B-2, R.3. Only two varieties were struck of this year, this variant is by far the more frequently encountered. The two varieties differ primarily by the distinct reverse types. The C-2, B-2 is styled after the cent reverse and is notably different from the C-1, B-1 reverse. The surfaces overall on this piece are remarkably attractive. The problems mentioned by ANACS are limited to an area of corrosion above the ribbon, and a shallow, diagonal scratch in the field below the ribbon. The Scratched designation seems especially harsh considering this is not a high grade coin and that 1802 half cents usually are seen with rough surfaces.
