Owner's Comments

This 1802 Large Cent had a substantial mintage of more than 3.4 Million. The total survivor count is relatively high, but the real hunt is on for low-ballers needing a PO01 for their PCGS registry set. It took some patience but I did find this coin in PO01 . The search was well worth it, as this coin is a key addition to my lowball set. As an extra bonus, the date is absolutely outstanding, particularly for a PO01.
