Early Half Dollars
1802 50C O-101, T-1, R.3, VF25 PCGS. Tompkins Die Stage 1/1. The 1802 half dollars (29,890 coins struck) share the same reverse as the 1801 O-102 coins. Collectors are always in search of examples from this capstone emission. This pleasing mid-grade survivor retains relatively strong detail on the obverse, while the reverse design exhibits a greater degree of high-point blending. Light lavender-gray patina with tan-gold accents.
