1802 Draped Bust/Heraldic Eagle Dollars
Close Over-Date Obverse

   

Two obverse dies for 1802 feature an over-struck date with the numerals close together. These may be distinguished based on the proximity of the numeral 1 to Liberty’s lowest hair curl, and the height of the base of the numeral 2 in comparison to the base of the numeral 0.

   

Select the coin’s date placement: 

   
Numeral 1 close (but not touching) hair curl
Base of numeral 2 below base of 0 and 2 tilts toward 0
   
Numeral 1 touches hair curl
Base of numeral 2 above base of 0 and 2 tilts away from 0
