***Auction Highlight*** 1802/1 BD-1 Gold Draped Bust Quarter Eagle 2.5 Graded F12 Details By SEGS. This coin represents the BD-1 variety, called the "Spike Shield" variety because of a die line that extends from the left corner of the shield to the eagle's wing. All three die varieties for 1802 use the same obverse die, which was traditionally thought to be an overdate. However, most modern researchers believe the artifact connecting the ball of the 2 to the diagonal is just a die line, rather than an under type digit. The reverse die was subsequently used to strike the JR-3 variety of the 1802 dime and the JR-2 variety of the 1803 dime. The BD-1, has a surviving population of 90-120 examples in all grades.
