Early Dollars
1802/1 $1 Wide Date, B-2, BB-233, R.4, VF30 PCGS. Bowers Die State I. A wide gap between 1 and 8 in the date accounts for the Wide Date descriptor for this moderately scarce overdate. Perhaps as few as 100 to 175 pieces survive in all grades, most of which are in the lower circulated grades. This solid midgrade example easily justifies its VF30 designation, with richly toned iridescent fields and smoothly worn silver-gray patina on the high points. Original surfaces show only one or two minor contacts -- a remarkable indication of quality for its assigned grade.
