1802 cent

Back again!
A few United States coins in a recent job lot. Pretty much ID them but as always I fall down grade wise, any help would be appreciated

Quite worn but looks to be the fraction 1/000 reverse. If so, that’s the better variety to have. The circulation wear and tear put this in the lower Good range.

 

I am thinking S-230 R-1. I also think I see the 1 in the bottom of the fraction.

 

There are some deep gouges on the obverse, but sometimes the older copper will get a pass on that. F/VF

 

Yes 1802 is quite an age. Many thanks for your input

 

It's an uneven strike with enough marks to make it a "details" grade. The sharpness is a Fine taken down to VG. You can't say "Good" because early copper coins in that grade don't have much left on them these days.
