Draped Bust Half Cent, 1802

[treblehunter]

This was found today by my buddy George (Vino), any advice or opinions as to grade, worth, or how to sell this coin would be greatly appreciated. All opinions are just that, an opinion, just trying to get a handle on grade, worth, what variety, and ways of selling coins of this caliper?
Thank you in advance.

Congrats! You have not only found a Half Cent that is tough to find but you found an 1802/0 Half Cent "Overdate" Variety with the Reverse of 1802. While not as rare as the Cohen-1, it is a Cohen-2 and could fetch a pretty nice premium. While the coin appears to have Very Fine details, it does have some issues from being in the ground which could effect the price that it fetches. I may be wrong but if the coin was submitted for Conservation, Certification and Grading, I believe that it could possibly fetch upwards of $5,000 or more at Auction. Yep, they are that rare and sought after! Now, if it were a Cohen-1 Variety with the Reverse of 1800, we would be talking $50,000 or more at Auction.

I voted Banner for this find!

Very nice find and very valuable. With the environmental damage you are realistically looking at $2000-2500.
