Granted, it's not raining here, but now is a good time to share: This 1802 was mislabeled in auction as an 1808 (weird, I know!). I picked it up for $47.50, let me know what you think! There is a "variety" twist... d: 28.7mm w: 10.19g Report this Post to the Staff

Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 11/27/2021 7:35 pm I'll go with G6 as a technicality, but the corrosion is not insignificant. Scratches on both sides. Is the coloring your lighting or evidence of a cleaning too? Without knowing a thing as to the variety, $47 seems fine for the corrosion, scratches, and possible cleaning.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 11/27/2021 7:38 pm Definitely cleaned, possible in a minor fire. Not sure about the variety, but it doesn't have stems! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955 Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.
