1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 VF20 but Holed. Struck over Spoiled Large Cent. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown on a smooth, corrosion-free planchet. Unfortunately someone thought it was advisable to drill a large hole through ER in LIBERTY. The only additional contact marks of any significance are a dull scratch in the field before the face and a sharper one hidden in the hair above the ear. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The curl left of the date is complete and die lines show between the I & B in LIBERTY. Struck on a planchet cut from a spoiled large cent. That cent appears to have been an off center partial brockage with an arc of strongly impressed dentils on the upper left obverse of the half cent. The ends of the arc of incuse dentils are exactly opposite depressions on the reverse rim, which most likely resulted from contact with another planchet as the cent was being struck (and spoiled in the process). Just too bad about that hole. Weight 76.7 grains. Davy #02.2.21.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
