1802 2.5 Dollars. NCS XF Details, Damaged. Breen-6118, BD-3, R.5. This date, while often referred to as 1802/1, shows very little evidence of an underdigit. Seen with an easily identifiable die marriage that has a small die break that runs from the left tip of the shield, up to the ribbon that the eagle carries in its beak. This marriage represents the second rarest of the three marriages seen for the date. The surfaces have obtained numerous pinpoint sized marks and account for the "damaged" insert on the NCS label. Surprisingly, evidence of original luster is present around the protected devices. A rare opportunity to obtain a survivor from the tiny original mintage of 3,035.
