1802/1 Bust Dollar--A wonderful overdate and proof that "Details" Graded coins aren't all

I like overdates, but so often they're hard to see with the naked eye, or have just a hint of the original date. This piece, however, is among the clearest overdates you can get, with the 2 and 1 both full and, since it's a dollar, large.
The coin, while given a details grade for being cleaned, is still quite nice. It's retoned a bit, and lacking hairlines, isn't that different from most coins of this era. In fact, I'm a bit surprised that it didn't grade outright, as both PCGS and NGC tend to be rather lenient towards lightly colored early silver. I recently sold this piece, but enjoyed getting to play with it for a little while.

coins can be right for many collections.
Yours is a B1, with the clash mark under the chin and longer right serifs on
the rev "T's".
Here's a B3, with the 1 slightly right of center, a lump between S8 & S9 and
the rev D spike pointing to the 4th feather.
I regret this coin is no longer mine!
