<B>1802 S$1 Narrow Date AU53 NGC.</B></I> B-5, BB-242, High R.5. Die State I. Perfect T; projection at lower right curve of D. This is a rare and often overlooked die marriage that is mostly populated by VF to XF examples and has perhaps fewer than 50 pieces extant in all grades. In practice, this variety is easily recognized by the perfect T in LIBERTY, the only 1802 Normal Date variety with this characteristic. It is the rarest Normal Date variety and the second rarest variety of the year. This lustrous AU representative has light silver-gray surfaces with hints of champagne toning on each side. Considerable luster is evident. Both sides have scattered surface marks and faint hairlines. Although a few finer examples are known, this piece is almost certainly in the Condition Census for the variety.<BR><I>Ex: Heritage (5/2003), lot 6463.</B></I><BR><I>From The William Luebke Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
