Early Dollars
1802 $1 Narrow Date, B-6, BB-241, R.1, MS61+ NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green/Eric P. Newman collections. Only 41,650 silver dollars were struck during the calendar year of 1802, and that number may include some dollars struck from dies dated 1801 or earlier. Many 1802-dated dollars were probably struck in 1803, and the actual mintage was likely higher than the recorded mintage for the year. The BB-241 is quickly identified by the lack of the right foot of the T in LIBERTY. It is the sole use of the obverse die, while the polygamous reverse was used multiple times among the 1802 varieties, as well as in 1801 and 1803. The perfect state of the obverse equates to Bowers Die State I. BB-241 is the so-called Narrow Date, despite the fact the 8 and 0 are widely spaced.
The obverse periphery of this original and lustrous Draped Bust dollar is attractively toned in shades of deep gold and blue, framing the near-brilliant portrait of Liberty in lush natural shades for tremendous eye appeal. The reverse is especially bright and lustrous, offering light- to medium-gold toning at the rims. The coin's irreproachable provenance and reputation among early dollar enthusiasts far exceeds its assigned numeric grade.
Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $40.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; Eric P. Newman Collection Part II (Heritage, 11/2013), lot 33513.
