Description
The 1802 Draped Bust Dollar is a dollar produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Draped Bust Dollars 1795-1804 series. With a mintage of 41,650, this is a scarce issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. The obverse features Liberty facing right with draped bust and ribbon-bound hair, designed after a Gilbert Stuart portrait and the reverse displays a small, naturalistic eagle perched on a palm branch within a wreath (1795-1798) or a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM (1798-1804). Narrow Date and Wide Date varieties. Continued strong demand for dollars in international commerce. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $1.3K to $39K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 27 grams, 40 mm in diameter, with a lettered: hundred cents one dollar or unit edge. Cataloged as PCGS #40087.
