FROM THE BRUCE MORELAN COLLECTION Ex. Col. Green and Eric Newman Collections, as noted on the insert. This borderline GEM is the ABSOLUTE FINEST KNOWN 1802/1 dollar of ANY variety! Its quality and eye appeal are OFF THE CHARTS high end! Visually and technically AMAZING, this coin belongs in another WORLD CLASS cabinet! An incredible, brilliant, satiny luster radiates and glows from below a layer of totally original splashes of gold, blue, and violet, which is especially rich on the obverse. The lustrous fields on the obverse is distinctly semi-reflective with a bold flash that comes to life in the light. The reverse, by contrast takes on a more frosty, satin-like texture. Both sides are well struck and show crisp definition throughout the design elements. While a glass does reveal a few minor ticks and marks scattered about on the obverse, none of these are particularly distracting or have any impact on the outstanding visual allure. The eye appeal is truly off the charts! Struck from an earlier die state, you can still see the die line that runs up the last four stars to the bust, and there are no signs of cracking, clashing, or lapping of the dies. The 1802/1 overdates are represented by five different die marriages, all of which feature different obverse dies, none of which actually struck dollars dated 1801. The reverse die was a workhorse, used in seven different die marriages from 1801 to 1803. PCGS 2, NGC 1, CAC 1. Back in the November 2013 sale of the Eric Newman Collection, this coin realized $199,750, a world record price for the overdate. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $175,000 and the CAC CPG value is $211,800. There are NONE FINER, and the Buddy Ebsen-Andy Hain-Brent Pogue MS64 is NOT CAC, and is currently being offered at $160,000 by a well known dealer. This exceptional borderline GEM is worthy of a WORLD CLASS collection, and who knows when a comparable example will be offered for auction again. Good luck! Cert. Number 28943921 PCGS # 6899.00
