1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 G5
1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 G5. Struck over Spoiled Large Cent. A couple points sharper but covered with light roughness under a rather glossy chocolate brown patina. No verdigris, and the only notable marks are a pair of very light rim bruises behind the portrait and a few light scratches inside the wreath. The date and overdate are clear and the legends are complete except for weakness at AMERIC and inside the wreath. Struck on a spoiled large cent, and clear remnants of the off center large cent show on both sides. An arc of dentils with TES from STATES shows before the neck and the lower edge of the bust from the large cent is visible above RICA. An impressive example of this extremely rare type of mint error. MDS, Manley state 4.0, with obvious die rust on both sides. Weight 76.1 grains. Davy #02.2.16.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
