Among dates of this type, the 1802 is not considered elusive in circulated grades. Many collectors choose an 1802 or 1807 to represent the design type, and with perhaps 100 specimens of the 1802 surviving in all grades, there are generally enough for collectors to at least be able to locate one. In Mint State grades, especially higher grades like this, the air is rarefied.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the D. Brent Pogue Part I Auction, where it realized $211,500.
