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. Very slightly sharper but there are numerous scratches inside the wreath plus a few that escape its confines. Otherwise the surfaces are decent for the grade, smooth and void of any notable defects. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy light chocolate and steel brown. The date is bold and the overdate is obvious. The legends are strong except for HALF CENT, which is weakened by the scratches. Struck over a spoiled large cent, but the evidence of the large cent is a faint O from ONE or OF near the rim left of the upper edge of the hair ribbon. There may have been more undertype visible when it was new, but not now. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0, with vertical die lines between the I & B in LIBERTY. The curl left of the date is complete. Weight 77.6 grains. Davy #02.2.20.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
