1802/0 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-3. Second Reverse (a.k.a. Reverse of 1802). VG-10 (PCGS).A desirable circulated example of this key date half cent issue, both sides retain bold outline definition to all devices apart from softness to the denomination HALF CENT in the center of the reverse. The borders are also distinct with some of the denticulation remaining. Handsome medium brown patina with no marks or other blemishes that are out of context with the assigned grade. From a limited mintage that most numismatic scholars accept as 20,266 pieces. The first delivery of 8,200 coins came during the summer of 1802, and it was comprised exclusively of C-2 examples. The rare Cohen-1 variety was part of a later delivery, minted between early and late die states of C-2. Manley Die State 4.0.
