Description

Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1802 Draped Bust Cent - No Stems is part of the Draped Bust Cents 1796-1807 series. The U.S. Mint struck 3.4 million cents dated 1802 in all, across every variety; how many came from the No Stems dies is not recorded. The obverse features Liberty facing right with draped bust and ribbon-bound hair, designed after a Gilbert Stuart portrait and the reverse displays a wreath enclosing ONE CENT and fraction 1/100. Produced during the earliest years of the United States Mint, when the young republic was establishing its monetary system and coinage traditions. Struck in copper, weighing 10.89 grams, 28 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #1476.
